Despite the strictly specified criteria laid down by the Medical Council of India the standard of examinations in the medical sciences in the country is continuously falling. This is mostly because of lack of sincerity and integrity of many examiners. This is an unwelcome situation and requires serious thought and appropriate urgent remedy.

Four of 21 patients with cerebral malaria developed hypoglycaemia, defined as plasma glucose concentration below 40 mg/dl (2.2 mmol/l). Two patients had spontaneous hypoglycaemia at admission and the other two developed it subsequent to quinine therapy. All recovered with continuous intravenous glucose infusion. Spontaneous hypoglycaemia in malaria has not earlier been reported from India.
Three unusual cases of falciparum malaria with extrapyramidal syndrome are reported. Two of these cases had extrapyramidal features at admission and the other one developed them after quinine therapy.
Various pernicious syndromes in Plasmodium falciparum infection are being reported with increasing frequency from tropical countries. A rare case of fatal pancytopenia associated with falciparum malaria is described. The patient developed fulminant aspiration bronchopneumonia which was unresponsive to antibiotic therapy and contributed to the development of adult respiratory distress syndrome. He also had severe uncontrolled gastrointestinal bleeding and possibly an intracerebral haemorrhage. Anaemia and thrombocytopenia are well known in malaria but severe leucopenia is very rare and pancytopenia has not been reported.
