[Assessment of late complications of malaria in travelers to the tropics].

Irreparable late lesions after a malaria infection are rare. They occur mainly after infection of tropical malaria. As ascertained late lesions are regarded cerebral disturbances, e.g. epilepsy after cerebral tropical malaria, cardiac disturbances, e.g. arrhythmia after cardiac tropical malaria and chronic renal insufficiency after quartan malaria. Chronic liver diseases, e.g. cirrhosis, are not known as ascertained late lesions of malaria. Bodily lesions may be recognized by experts as malaria-depending, when kind and form of the course of malaria may be considered as cause meanwhile appearing symptoms anticipate a connection and other causes were excluded with regard to these lesions.
