Given the large number of infections occurring worldwide, the magnitude of the problem is likely to be substantial. The objectives of this paper are; (i) to assess the evidence on post malarial cognitive impairment or impact on school education; (ii) to assess the possible positive impact of malaria drug prophylaxis on cognition; and (iii) to suggest recommendations on minimizing the burden of post-malarial cognitive impairment SN - 1475-2875 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1475-2875-9-366 DO - 10.1186/1475-2875-9-366 ID - Fernando2010 ER -
