In Panel 1: Differential diagnoses in severe pre-eclampsia by organ system, malaria is not mentioned.

In some settings, malaria is an important differential diagnosis of severe pre-eclampsia as it can have a significant overlap of clinical and laboratory features with severe pre-eclampsia, for example, headache, nausea, vomiting, intra-uterine growth restriction, thrombocytopenia and raised serum creatinine (1).
