Use of dexamethasone in cerebral malaria.

A W Woodruff, C J Dickinson.   

Abstract

In a man who had been in a coma for 24 hours with cerebral malaria dexamethasone had a dramatic, and probably life-saving, effect. We believe dexamethasone should be given routinely, together with antimalarial therapy, to patients with cerebral malaria.
