Abstract

Delayed cerebellar ataxia (DCA) is a rare post-malarial neurological complication with unknown pathomechanism characterized by its self-limiting course and favorable outcome. We report a case of DCA following an uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum infection in a 30-year old Swiss traveler returning from Cameroon and discuss the case in light of the published literature.
