Between January 1976 and July 1979, 453 cases of malaria were seen at Hillingdon Hospital. The majority of cases were Plasmodium vivax infections in Asians from the Punjab in Northern India-either new immigrants or United Kingdom resident Asians returning from holidays. Twenty-four cases were contracted in Africa or the Middle East. Figures are presented showing a considerable increase in cases during the period of study. In P. vivax infections the time interval between arrival and development of the acute illness was significantly greater for those subjects entering the United Kingdom in autumn or winter.
1976年1月至1979年7月期间,希灵登医院共接诊了453例疟疾病例。大多数病例为印度北部旁遮普邦亚洲人的间日疟原虫感染——包括新移民或度假归来的英国常住亚洲人。有24例是在非洲或中东感染的。数据显示,在研究期间病例数有显著增加。在间日疟原虫感染中,秋季或冬季进入英国的受试者从抵达至急性疾病发作的时间间隔明显更长。
