Analysis of malaria imported into eight European countries from the Indian Sub-continent (ISC) (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) led to a consensus statement on the use of chemoprophylaxis within TropNetEurop. The proportion of cases from the ISC in 2004 ranged from 1.4%-4.6% of total imported cases. Plasmodium falciparum cases reported from the eight countries was only 23 (13% of all cases from the region). Total malaria reports between 1999-2004 fell from 317 to 180. The risk of malaria in UK residents visiting the region was > 1 case per 1,000 years exposed. The group recommended non-selective prescribing of chemoprophylaxis for visitors to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka should be dropped.
对从印度次大陆(印度、巴基斯坦、孟加拉国和斯里兰卡)输入到八个欧洲国家的疟疾进行分析后,促成了TropNetEurop内部关于使用化学预防药物的共识声明。2004年来自印度次大陆的病例占总输入病例的比例在1.4%至4.6%之间。八个国家报告的恶性疟原虫病例仅23例(占该地区所有病例的13%)。1999年至2004年期间,疟疾报告总数从317例降至180例。前往该地区的英国居民感染疟疾的风险超过每1000年暴露1例。该小组建议,应取消对前往印度、巴基斯坦、孟加拉国和斯里兰卡的游客进行非选择性化学预防药物处方。
