Abstract
Here, we described a fatal case of a 37-year-old returning traveller from Burkina Faso, West Africa, who presented with an acute fitting episode later diagnosed as cerebral malaria induced by Plasmodium falciparum based on microscopic examination and Plasmodium mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase III (cox3) gene PCR target. Unfortunately, the patient passed away due to severe malaria with multi organ failure complicated with Gemella bergeri bacteremia. G. bergeri was identified using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.
