Mechanisms of Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound phenotypes in paediatric cerebral malaria remain elusive

Abstract Background Cerebral malaria (CM) results in significant paediatric death and neurodisability in sub-Saharan Africa. Several different alterations to typical Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound (TCD) flow velocities and waveforms in CM have been described, but mechanistic contributors to these a...
