dc.description.abstractA prospective study of blood glucose level at the time of admission was done on 532 cases of severe and complicated malaria admitted in classified malaria ward at PBM Hospital, Bikaner. Eleven patients had blood glucose level < 40 mg% (< 2.2 mmol/L) and all were unconscious with diagnosis of cerebral malaria. Four patients became conscious with i.v. infusion of 25% dextrose only without receiving any specific antimalarial treatment. Recognition of these patients of "falciparum malaria with hypoglycaemia" by blood glucose estimation at the time of admission can significantly affect the ultimate outcome. The mortality trend was more in patients having blood glucose level < 40 mg% (< 2.2 mmol/L) in comparison to group of patients having blood glucose level between 41 to 60 mg% (2.2 to 3.3 mmol/L) and was least in those having blood glucose level > 60 mg% (> 3.3 mmol/L).en_US
