title: [Imported malaria--clinical problems].
abstract: Over the period from 1985 to 1989, 107 patients suffering from malaria were treated in the Institute for Infectious and Tropical Diseases in Belgrade. The eradication of malaria in Yugoslavia was carried out in 1960 and all the new cases originated from different African countries. Most of these patients were Yugoslav citizens working in these countries. Plasmodium falciparum was the cause of malaria in most of them. The parasytologic analysis of dense drops and smears of peripheric blood revealed it in 81 (75.5%) patients. Taking into account the great problem of treatment of malaria resistant to Resorchin (over 50% in our patients) the great role of chemioprophylaxix, antimalaric agents and appropriate vaccination is emphasized.
