Malaria--an old challenge in a modern age.
The incidence of malaria is increasing worldwide, and has reemerged in some areas where it was previously eradicated. The importance of full compliance with prophylactic medication must be stressed to travellers. Although aware of malarial symptoms, most travellers do not consult a doctor as soon as they appear. Health education about malaria represent a key area of occupational nurses' role.
