title: [Gastrointestinal symptoms predominant in refugee children with malaria].
abstract: We present three cases of malaria in refugee children newly arrived from Sub-saharan Africa. Only one of the three children had fever and all had high parasite loads (2,5-14% parasitemia). Malaria is an important differential diagnosis in refugees from endemic areas, regardless of whether they present with fever.
