The combination of increases in international travel and escalating drug resistance has resulted in a growing number of travelers contracting malaria. Preventing malaria-associated morbidity and mortality will require improved health information for travelers about the risk of malaria and appropriate preventive measures, improved recognition of infection by physicians, rapid and accurate laboratory diagnosis, and prompt initiation of effective therapy.
国际旅行增加与耐药性不断升级这两者相结合,导致感染疟疾的旅行者数量日益增多。预防与疟疾相关的发病和死亡,将需要为旅行者提供关于疟疾风险及适当预防措施的更好的健康信息,需要医生提高对感染的识别能力,需要快速准确的实验室诊断,以及需要及时开始有效的治疗。
