In the developing world, hypoglycemia is a frequent complication
                among admitted children, particularly in malaria-endemic areas,
                and a defining feature of severe malaria and associated with
                high case fatality rates (CFR). This complication could be much
                more common than currently considered, particularly because it
                frequently occurs without a direct immediate clinical
                translation. Its etiology has not yet been fully understood and
                is likely to be multifactorial. Routine screening and treatment
                of hypoglycemia, as recommended by international guidelines, may
                be challenging to perform indeveloping countries on account of
                the limited resources available. In this review, we discuss the
                published literature in relation with the incidence, risk
                factors, and consequences of hypoglycemia among malaria
                patients, aiming to improve our current understanding of this
                common and life-threatening complication of malaria.
