[Travel prophylaxis among immigrants].
A female immigrant and her child acquired Plasmodium falciparum infection during a visit to her home country. They did not receive chemoprophylaxis during or after the journey. Immigrants comprise a high risk group for malaria as well as typhoid fever and hepatitis A. Increased attention towards this group of travellers is recommended.
