Abstract
Malarial retinopathy is characterized by retinal whitening, vessel change, and hemorrhages usually associated with a white center. We present the case of a 9-year-old boy who presented with a systemic Plasmodium falciparum infection, hemorrhagic cerebellitis and malarial retinopathy characterized by "fire flare" hemorrhages (scleral icterus with subconjunctival hemorrhages), Roth spot-like hemorrhages, and subhyaloid hemorrhage. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of hemorrhagic cerebellitis secondary to P. falciparum infection in the United States.
