title: [Malaria caused by accidental inoculation. 1 case].
abstract: The authors report a case of direct infection of a nurse who had taken blood sample from a young patient suffering from malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum. Six similar observations have been reported in the literature. In addition, accidental infection has been observed following the use of non sterile syringes. As a result, malaria could be an unexpected consequence of the drug habit.
