Declarations
:
: Approval for this publication was granted by the Chair of the Research Ethics Committee of Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital, Banjul, Gambia (See attached letter). The ethical guidelines complied with were as follows: Autonomy: after explaining the purpose of the case report and answering the questions the participant had, he signed a written consent form to have his case published. Beneficence: The participant was managed according to the clinical principles. He was also given transport remuneration at the follow up visit. Confidentiality: The participant was given confidentiality because his name was not mentioned in the case report. His picture was also not used. He therefore cannot be recognized from the case report. Non-Maleficence: This is a retrospective case report. The study did not harm the patient in any way. Equity and Justice: We believe that publishing this case report and the review of literature will help West African physicians to have a high index of suspicion for cerebral malaria as well as PMNS. It will also draw attention to a possible new ‘vulnerable group’ for cerebral malaria.
