We report a case of imported Plasmodium knowlesi malaria in a French tourist following a vacation in Thailand. This case shows, first, tourists may contract knowlesi malaria even only staying on the beach and second, the diagnosis remains difficult, even with polymerase chain reaction methods.
我们报告了一例在泰国度假后感染输入性疟原虫 knowlesi 疟疾的法国游客。该病例表明,首先,游客即使只在海滩上停留,也可能感染 knowlesi 疟疾;其次,即使使用聚合酶链反应方法,诊断仍然很困难。
