Runway malaria in a British serviceman

M P Connor et al. J R Soc Med. 1995 Jul.

Abstract

'Runway malaria' is a clinical entity first described in 1990 and refers to a patient who has contracted malaria, in whom the only possible exposure has been when the aircraft in which they were travelling has landed transiently in a malarious zone. We describe such a case in a British Serviceman travelling from the South Atlantic to Germany, who acquired malaria in West Africa.
