摘要

在2023年12月至2025年2月期间，从桑给巴尔返回意大利的旅行者中报告了6例恶性疟原虫疟疾病例，桑给巴尔是一个经常被视为低风险的热门旅游目的地。没有人采取预防措施，五人患有严重疟疾，两人死亡。诊断延误表明，旅行者和保健专业人员缺乏对疟疾的临床怀疑和认识。这些病例突出了疟疾化学预防和预防对前往非洲危险地区的旅行者、临床怀疑和快速检测的重要性。

Plasmodium falciparum malaria in six travellers returning from Zanzibar to Italy, December 2023 to February 2025: a case series.

Between December 2023 and February 2025, six cases of Plasmodium falciparum malaria were reported in travellers returning to Italy from Zanzibar, a popular tourist destination often perceived as low risk. None had taken prophylaxis, five had severe malaria and two died. Diagnostic delays revealed a lack of clinical suspicion of malaria and awareness among travellers and healthcare professionals. These cases highlight the importance of malaria chemoprophylaxis and prevention for travellers to risk areas in Africa, clinical suspicion and rapid testing.
