[Actual problems in diagnosis and treatment of imported malaria].
Analyzing 66 cases of imported malaria, recorded among the patients treated at Moscow Infective Clinical Hospital No. 1 has indicated that despite its typical clinical picture and specific epidemiological history, the prehospital diagnosis of tropical and vivax malaria was correctly made in 20 and 22% of patients, respectively. As few as 3 patients had chemoprophylaxis on an individual basis during their stay in the focus, but they did not comply with the regimen recommended. The severity of the disease, in non-immunized patients with tropical malaria, in particular, is related to the time of admittance (diagnosis) and to that of the initiation of adequate specific treatment.
