Abstract
A cluster of 6 cases of Plasmodium falciparum malaria occurred in a UK airport among 30 travelers returning to the United States from East Africa. Molecular genotyping analysis indicated that all had been exposed to different parasites. The travelers' use of chemoprophylaxis was poor; their perception of risk was limited.
摘要
在英国一个机场，30名从东非返回美国的旅行者中出现了6例恶性疟原虫疟疾聚集性病例。分子基因分型分析表明，所有人接触的都是不同的寄生虫。这些旅行者的化学预防措施执行不力；他们对风险的认知有限。
