A prospective study done in 216 children with complicated falciparum malaria showed hepatopathy in 33.3% of cases with a higher incidence in children aged above five years. Bilirubin and alanine aminotransferase were moderately raised in most cases. No significant association with other common complications and no higher risk of mortality was observed.
