title: [Malaria in childhood. Report of 26 cases].
abstract: It's known that there has been a resurgence of malaria in the world. Purpose of this article is to point out the increase in number of cases of imported malaria in children in Spain. Authors performed a clinical study and review up to date treatment and prophylaxis of the disease. They communicate cases of three children infected by Plasmodium falciparum resistant to chloroquine, proceeding from areas that up to one year ago were considered to be not resistant. Data published on prevention and selective primary health care of malaria in the world are revised.
