Abstract

Of 1857 Plasmodium falciparum malaria patients hospitalized from 1995 to 1998, 608 had severe malaria and 83 died. Acute renal failure, jaundice and respiratory distress were common in adults whereas children frequently had severe anaemia. Cerebral malaria occurred equally in adults and children but recovery from coma was quicker in children. Multiple complications caused high mortality in adults.
