The three death cases of falciparum malaria in Wenzhou City were all imported from Africa. One patient died on 10 January 2007 because of severe clinical symptoms after hospitalization. The second case was initially misdiagnosed as influenza in primary health and medical institution. The patient's condition quickly worsened and died of Plasmodium falciparum infection on 5 March 2011. The third patient belonged to "non-identity" person, and there were no detailed information and epidemiological history on admission, which resulted in the delayed diagnosis, disease exacerbation and death. In conclusion, the health education should be provided to the people who return from Africa and also to medical workers in order to reduce the mortality of falciparum malaria.
