Cerebellar Malaria Due to Plasmodium vivax in a Child

Infection resulting from Plasmodium vivax is the commonest type found in India as well as other tropical regions. The clinical picture is variable depending on the nature, immunity of the child, and lives in an endemic area or not. Here, we report a child, who presented with cerebellar dysfunction with intact sensorium and Plasmodium vivax was positive on peripheral smear.
