  • Title: Subacute clinical forms of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in travelers receiving chloroquine-proguanil prophylaxis.
    Author: Klement E, Chauveheid MP, Thellier M, Bricaire F, Danis M, Caumes E.
    Journal: Clin Infect Dis; 2001 Jul 01; 33(1):e1-2. PubMed ID: 11389510.
    Abstract:
    We have observed 4 French travelers, returning from African countries, who were not immune to malaria and were receiving chloroquine-proguanil prophylaxis, in whom the diagnosis of malaria could easily have been missed because the clinical signs were uncommon. These cases suggest that chloroquine-proguanil prophylaxis is not always effective and that travelers with unexplained symptoms should be monitored closely for malaria.
