 AB    We examined the possible risk factors for poor prognostic in cerebral
       malaria in 31 adults from Burundi, an area of high prevalence rate of
       HIV-1 infection. Depth of coma, temperature, vomiting, seizures,
       parasite load, or anaemia did not modify the outcome. High levels of
       creatinine, bilirubin, and/or lactates were indicators of poor
       prognostic. HIV-1 infection did not affect the clinical or biological
       presentation of cerebral malaria, and did not appear to influence the
       outcome.
