[The course of malignant forms of tropical malaria in the native population of endemic foci in Ethiopia].
In the hyperendemic areas of Ethiopia there is severe tropical malaria, "cerebral malaria" which is frequently followed by complications as malaria coma or malaria algide. The authors followed up the clinical course and causes of malaria coma in 25 patients, including in 10 dead subjects. The development of malaria coma is chiefly associated with untimely diagnosis, patients' late admissions, and inadequate prehospital treatment. The current and past diseases may be regarded as factors aggravating the disease.
