Association of Plasma Tau With Mortality and Long-term Neurocognitive Impairment in Survivors of Pediatric Cerebral Malaria and Severe Malarial Anemia.

Cerebral malaria (CM) and severe malarial anemia (SMA) are associated with persistent neurocognitive impairment (NCI) among children in Africa. Identifying blood biomarkers of acute brain injury that are associated with future NCI could allow early interventions to prevent or reduce NCI in survivors of severe malaria.
