An update on malaria prevention, diagnosis and treatment for the returning traveller
Blood Rev.
2007 Mar.
Abstract
The diagnosis of malaria needs to be considered for every returning traveller with a fever. Compliance with prevention, both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical, is essential for every traveller. New tests for diagnosis are now available. Treatment options have recently expanded to include the artemisinin derivatives that used to be unavailable in the western countries.
