Since May 2014, an increase in Plasmodium vivax malaria has been observed in Sweden. As of 31 August 2014, 105 malaria cases have been reported in newly arrived Eritrean refugees, 84 of them P. vivax. The patients were mainly young men and reported migration through Ethiopia and/or Sudan. Severe anaemia and long symptom duration reflect inadequate healthcare during migration. Countries currently hosting Eritrean refugees need to consider P. vivax malaria in this group of migrants.
自 2014 年 5 月以来，瑞典观察到间日疟病例有所增加。截至 2014 年 8 月 31 日，105 例疟疾病例报告发生在新抵达的厄立特里亚难民中，其中 84 例为间日疟。这些患者主要为年轻男性，他们报告曾经过埃塞俄比亚和/或苏丹移民。严重贫血和较长的症状持续时间反映了在移民过程中医疗保健的不足。目前收容厄立特里亚难民的国家需要考虑这群移民中的间日疟问题。
