ABSTRACT
Malaria is the world's most important parasitic infec tion. Although it has been eradicated from temperate zones including Korea , increasing numbers of travellers visit tropical malarious countries and imported malaria becomes important medical problem in the developed countries. In Korea with increasing travellers to malaria endemic area, the incidence of imported malaria shows rising tendency same as the developed countries. It beco mes important to provide general personal protective me asures and chemoprophylaxis to trevellers, when employed in appropriate manner, that can be highly effective in preventing malaria . We recently experienced a case of imported Plasmodium vivax malaria with delayed mani festations due to inadequate chemoprophylaxis. A 53- year-old woman with history of trevel to East Africa 4 months ago and chief complaint of fever was diagnosed as tertian malaria. She had irregularly taken prophylatic antimalarial during travel and had not taken it after return but should have taken it at least 4 weeks after return.
