We report a case of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in a 21 day old child that was born from a mother that developed clinical signs of falciparum malaria just after giving birth and died. Transmission could have occurred either by the transplacental route or by maternal blood reaching the child during the childbirth. Literature review shows that malaria should be considered as a cause of a febrile disease in the newborn, particularly if there is a low birthweight and the newborn is a child of a woman coming from an endemic malaria region.
我们报告一例21日龄婴儿患恶性疟原虫疟疾的病例，该婴儿的母亲在分娩后不久出现恶性疟原虫疟疾的临床症状并死亡。传播可能通过胎盘途径发生，也可能在分娩期间母体血液接触到婴儿时而发生。文献综述表明，疟疾应被视为新生儿发热性疾病的一个病因，特别是在出生体重低且新生儿的母亲来自疟疾流行地区的情况下。
