title: Concurrent malaria in a child and his father nine months after travel.
abstract: Fever is a frequent complaint in the pediatric emergency department. In pursuit of the cause of a febrile illness, one should obtain a history of both recent and remote travel. An important cause of travel-related fever is malaria. We describe a case of concurrent malaria in a child and his father presenting 9 months after travel to an endemic region.
