An imported malaria case with repeated episodes of neurological syndromes resulting from different Plasmodium species.

Background: Imported cerebral malaria (CM) cases in non-endemic areas are often misdiagnosed, which delays treatment. Post-malaria neurological syndrome (PMNS) after recovery from severe malaria can also complicate diagnosis.

Case: We report an imported malaria case from West Africa with two sequential episodes with neurological syndromes within about a month.
