To determine the number of people with malaria in Auckland in 1993 and determine species, sources, exposure history, use of chemoprophylaxis, outcome and geographic attack rates.
We prospectively obtained the numbers of people with laboratory diagnosed malaria from all haematology departments in Auckland and then contacted the patients and their doctors to elicit further details.
Forty three people, 30 men and 13 women, had malaria. Twenty eight were New Zealanders, 10 migrants, three temporary visitors and two not determined. Thirty two had P vivax infection, 11 P falciparum: none had complications. The highest attack rate was in travellers to the Solomon Islands. Eighty two per cent took prophylaxis.
Malaria is an uncommon diagnosis in Auckland. Most patients took prophylaxis. The disease is undernotified. No one died of malaria in 1993 in Auckland.
确定1993年奥克兰患疟疾的人数，并确定疟疾病种、感染源、暴露史、预防用药情况、疾病转归及地区发病率。
我们前瞻性地从奥克兰所有血液科获取实验室确诊的疟疾患者人数，然后联系患者及其医生以获取更多细节。
43人患疟疾，其中男性30人，女性13人。28人为新西兰人，10人为移民，3人为临时访客，2人情况不明。32人感染间日疟原虫，11人感染恶性疟原虫：均无并发症。发病率最高的是前往所罗门群岛的旅行者。82%的患者采取了预防措施。
疟疾在奥克兰是一种不常见的诊断。大多数患者采取了预防措施。该病报告不足。1993年奥克兰无人死于疟疾。
