摘要
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. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
