1,100 internationalist workers were surveyed in order to assess the factors bearing upon the proper use of antimalarial chemoprophylaxis in endemic areas of Africa. We detected difficulties concerning advisin and its quality. Most subjects did not begin chemoprophylaxis before leaving Cuba, according to the advice. It was proved that one third of them do not observe regularly this prophylactic measure.
