We report a case of severe malaria (cerebral malaria) developing aspiration pneumonia and acute renal failure in a 17–year-old student after returning from malarial hyper endemic zone. The infecting organism was Plasmodium falciparum . Treatment with intravenous quinine and haemodialysis for kidney failure and broad spectrum antibiotic for aspiration pneumonia caused complete recovery of the patient.
