ABSTRACT
This study is of 25 cases of acute malaria encountered at autopsy. Cause of death was malaria in all the cases. The study covers a period of 6 years i.e. from January 1994 to December 1999. There was an upward trend in deaths due to malaria. P. falciparum malaria with its complications accounted for majority of deaths and cerebral malaria (CM) topped the list. Other complications observed were adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute septicemic malaria, acute renal failure (ARF) and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The commonest presenting symptoms were fever with chills associated with central nervous system (CNS) complaints like altered sensorium and unconsciousness.
