Abstract
Post-malaria neurological syndrome (PMNS) defined by a post-infective encephalopathy occurring within 2 months after an episode of Plasmodium falciparum infection is still a debated entity. We describe 2 cases of PMNS in 2 patients of African origin, born and living in France. Both patients had severe P. falciparum infection, followed by PMNS. They recovered with no sequelae. These are the first-reported cases of PMNS in patients of African ethnicity and living in France.Entities:
