In a screening program, we detected submicroscopic malaria in 8.9% of recent migrants to Spain from sub-Saharan Africa. Hemoglobinopathies and filarial infection occurred more frequently in newly arrived migrants with submicroscopic malaria than in those without. Our findings could justify systematic screening in immigrants and recent travelers from malaria-endemic areas.
在一项筛查项目中,我们在最近从撒哈拉以南非洲移民到西班牙的人群中发现了亚临床疟疾,发生率为 8.9%。与无亚临床疟疾的移民相比,新近抵达的有亚临床疟疾的移民中更常发生血红蛋白病和丝虫感染。我们的发现可以证明对来自疟疾流行地区的移民和近期旅行者进行系统筛查是合理的。
