Abstract

Increasing international travel and expatriation to sub-Saharan countries where malaria is endemic has raised public health concerns about the burden of imported malaria cases in Portugal. From 2009 to 2012, there was a 60% increase in malaria hospitalizations, contradicting the declining trend observed since 2003. Older age was associated with longer length of stay in hospital and higher lethality.

摘要

随着国际旅行和移居到疟疾流行的撒哈拉以南国家的人数不断增加，葡萄牙对输入性疟疾病例的负担引起了公众健康的关注。2009 年至 2012 年，疟疾住院人数增加了 60%，与自 2003 年以来观察到的下降趋势相悖。年龄较大与住院时间延长和病死率升高相关。
