In Austria, between 1990 and 2000, 924 travel related malaria cases were reported (mean = 84/year). No significant decreasing or increasing trends were observed. P. falciparum (n=517; 55.9%) accounted for the highest number of cases followed by P. vivax or ovale (n=321; 34.7%) and P. malariae (n=29; 2.2%). Most infections were contracted in highly endemic malaria regions (n=686; 74.2%) and most cases were reported from the largest counties: Vienna (n=336, 36.4%), Styria (n=156, 16.8%), and Lower Austria (n=151, 16.3%). Overall, 12 deaths occurred, most were caused by P. falciparum (n=9, 75%; case fatality rate: 1.9%). Data on chemoprophylaxis was available for 752 cases (81.4%) but only half of them (n=367, 48.8%) gave detailed information on the drug used. Data on compliance were obtained for only 45.4% of the cases, with only about 60% of patients completing the full course of prophylaxis.
在奥地利，1990年至2000年期间，共报告了924例与旅行相关的疟疾病例（平均每年84例）。未观察到明显的上升或下降趋势。恶性疟原虫（n = 517；55.9%）导致的病例数最多，其次是间日疟原虫或卵形疟原虫（n = 321；34.7%）和三日疟原虫（n = 29；2.2%）。大多数感染发生在疟疾高度流行地区（n = 686；74.2%），大多数病例来自最大的几个县：维也纳（n = 336，36.4%）、施蒂利亚州（n = 156，16.8%）和下奥地利州（n = 151，16.3%）。总体而言，有12人死亡，大多数由恶性疟原虫引起（n = 9，75%；病死率：1.9%）。752例病例（81.4%）有化学预防的数据，但其中只有一半（n = 367，48.8%）提供了所使用药物的详细信息。仅45.4%的病例获得了依从性数据，只有约60%的患者完成了全程预防用药。
