Malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) may be missed if patients present with symptoms outside of the expected incubation period. We describe two patients who developed Pf malaria more than one year after visiting malaria-endemic countries. Both worked at an international airport, but no source of infection was identified.
如果疟疾病人在预期潜伏期之外出现症状,可能会漏诊恶性疟原虫(Pf)所致的疟疾。我们描述了两名在访问疟疾流行国家一年多后患上Pf疟疾的患者。两人都在国际机场工作,但未确定感染源。
