[Malaria of native Africans after returning home from European residence].
According to the authors experiences African indigenous people can fall ill with malaria the same manner as the non-immune Europeans returning home after European residence. If the Africans live for many years in temperate country, their semi-immune status against malaria have gained in childhood dies away because of the mosquito bites do not happen in Europe. Therefore Africans who have lived for many years in temperate zone, need the same chemoprofilaxis and measures against malaria as the Europeans do if they return home. If these Africans fall ill with malaria, the illness can appear in severe form and they need firm antimalaria treatment even in an intensive care unit.
