【 摘 要 】

Travellers in tropical countries are to get various infections including malaria. Severe or complicated malaria mostly caused by plasmodium falciparum. We reported uncomplicated malaria case in travellers caused by P. Falciparum who remain sensitive to chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine according to PCR result. The malarial diagnosis was confirmed with a microscopic test, RDT and PCR. The patient was treated with fixed-dose artemisinin-combination therapy and primaquine. Early treatment failure was not found based on clinical finding or microscopic test. The patient was discharged on the day 5th of treatment.
