  • Title: Malaria: chemoprophylaxis and therapy.
    Author: Masley SC, Weiss BD.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1988 Aug; 38(2):109-18. PubMed ID: 3044049.
    Abstract:
    Malaria should be considered in a patient with unexplained fever and a history of travel to an endemic area. Aggressive therapy must be started if Plasmodium falciparum infection is a possibility. Travelers must be educated about mosquito bite protection and appropriate chemoprophylaxis. Travelers can, however, acquire malaria despite chemoprophylaxis, and symptoms may appear up to one year after the trip.
