Imported malaria affects thousands annually in industrialized nations. Chemoprophylaxis, involving regular antimalarial drug intake, significantly reduces the risk of malarial disease for travelers.

Area of Science:

  • Tropical medicine
  • Infectious disease epidemiology

Background:

  • Imported malaria is a significant health concern in industrialized countries, with 20,000-30,000 cases diagnosed annually.
  • Approximately 700 cases involve Swiss travelers and foreign guests, highlighting the local relevance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of chemoprophylaxis in preventing malaria among travelers.
  • To outline the available antimalarial drugs for malaria prevention in Switzerland.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on imported malaria and chemoprophylaxis strategies.
  • Identification of antimalarial drugs currently available for prophylaxis in Switzerland.

Main Results:

  • Chemoprophylaxis, defined as regular intake of antimalarial drugs, is effective in lowering the risk of malarial disease.

  • Available prophylactic options in Switzerland include mefloquine, doxycycline, and chloroquine plus proguanil, with atovaquone plus proguanil expected soon.

    • Conclusions:

    • Chemoprophylaxis is a crucial preventive measure for individuals traveling to malaria-endemic areas.
    • Understanding available prophylactic options is essential for healthcare providers and travelers to mitigate malaria risk.
