Hypoglycaemia in African children with severe malaria.
Hypoglycaemia, defined as a plasma glucose concentration below 2.2 mmol/l, developed in 15 of 47 prospectively studied Gambian children with severe chloroquine-sensitive falciparum malaria. 5 of these hypoglycaemic children died compared with 1 in the normoglycaemic group (p = 0.02).
