[Malaria in Vietnam: what is the awareness of risk for travel in 2000?].
Increasing numbers of people are travelling to Vietnam. From december 1st 1998 to april 31 1999, we surveyed by questionnaire 191 travellers who consulted at health centres attached to French diplomatic representations (Hanoi, Ho-Chi-Minh Ville) in order to evaluate their prophylaxis practices with regard to malaria; 59% of these travellers were taking no preventive measures whatsoever, while the rest were following an often ill-adapted treatment.
