Malaria is associated with various forms of neurological complications. Weakness like paraparesis and quadriparesis is being described in malaria, the pathologies being polyneuropathy, hypokalaemia, hyperkalaemia, myelitis etc. Recurrent hypokalaemic paralysis has not been described to the best of my knowledge in malaria. I hereby describe a young patient with recurrent episodes of weakness due to hypokalaemia who on investigation was found to be because of malaria. The case report is being described because of it is being novel or not described earlier.
