The risk of malaria infection in airline crews is estimated to be 0.5 per 1,000 persons per night in areas with high levels of malaria transmission. Routine chemoprophylaxis for years is not recommended because of possible side effects. Airline crews should therefore use appropriate measures to prevent mosquito bites. In addition, they may need to carry "standby" medication with them to be used for presumptive treatment of a febrile illness if medical attention is not readily available.
在疟疾传播水平较高的地区,航空公司机组人员感染疟疾的风险估计为每1000人每晚0.5例。由于可能存在副作用,不建议长期进行常规化学预防。因此,航空公司机组人员应采取适当措施防止蚊虫叮咬。此外,如果无法及时获得医疗救治,他们可能需要随身携带“备用”药物,用于对发热疾病进行推定治疗。
