Transfusion transmitted malaria in non-endemic areas is a rare and alarming diagnosis. It deserves a special mention because of its rarity, delay in diagnosis, treatment and serious complications. Shimla, though nonendemic, but being a tourist place, can get malaria transported from other parts of India. We present here a case of transfusion transmitted falciparum malaria in IGMC Shimla. We have discussed the strategies for diagnosis and prevention of transfusion transmitted malaria in endemic and non-endemic regions.
非疟疾流行地区的输血传播疟疾是一种罕见且令人担忧的诊断。由于其罕见性、诊断延迟、治疗及严重并发症，值得特别提及。西姆拉虽非疟疾流行区，但作为一个旅游地，可能会有从印度其他地区传入的疟疾。我们在此介绍一例在西姆拉英迪拉·甘地医学学院发生的输血传播恶性疟疾病例。我们还讨论了在疟疾流行区和非流行区诊断及预防输血传播疟疾的策略。
