title: [Cerebral malaria and maternal deaths--a study of 13,141 deliveries at the Maputo Central Hospital, People's Republic of Mozambique].
abstract: In the Central Hospital of Maputo we registered 1986 6 maternal deaths during delivery caused by cerebral malaria. Clinical and histopathological findings have been discussed. In endemic districts of malaria convulsions during delivery are hints to cerebral malaria. Following postpartal infections cerebral malaria together with eclampsia has the second position in the reasons of maternal death.
