Cerebral Malaria data

These data included diagnosis, birth history, medical history, and history of malaria based on interviews and patients’ personal medical records. The patients’ families provided consent to participate in this research.

After exclusions were applied, the remaining patients (33, or 27%) were diagnosed with cerebral malaria. We report the patients’ type of paralysis, muscle tone, age of malaria infection, and Gross Motor Functional Classification Score. This dataset reports basic data on the physical func-tion of the underreported pediatric population with cerebral malaria.
