Abstract

Objective: To investigate the epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of an imported falciparum malaria patient in Xilin County, Baise City, so as to provide the reference for improving the diagnosis and treatment of falciparum malaria patients in the future.

Methods: The epidemiological and clinical data were collected and analyzed.

Results: The patient had lived in Africa where the malaria was epidemic. The disease attacked him after his coming back home from abroad. The blood test for Plasmodium falciparum was positive. In Xilin County, no local Plasmodium infection was found from 2004 to 2016, and therefore, we concluded that this case was overseas imported.

Conclusions: The monitoring of overseas returnees in Xilin County should be strengthened to timely diagnose and treat the imported cases of malaria.
