Malaria in a seaport worker in Haifa.
A healthy port worker who had traveled to Azerbaijan 2 years previously was diagnosed with vivax malaria. This is most likely a case of seaport malaria, which has been reported only four times previously. The importance of obtaining a proper occupational, as well as travel, history when evaluating febrile patients is emphasized.
