Malaria, an unclear but present danger.
Malaria is an ever present danger to those who travel in endemic areas. Falciparum malaria may be a life-threatening condition, even when treated promptly and appropriately. It is important that practitioners be aware that international travelers are at risk for malaria. It is also important to advise patients to seek expert advice on malaria prevention before they travel to malarious areas.
