Summary

Most imported malaria cases result from poor adherence to malaria chemoprophylaxis (CP). Improving pre-travel counseling on CP is crucial for reducing malaria risk in travelers.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Travel Medicine
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Malaria infection risk is preventable with chemoprophylaxis and mosquito bite protection.
  • A retrospective study evaluated malaria chemoprophylaxis compliance in infected travelers.

Purpose:

  • To assess compliance with recommended malaria chemoprophylaxis among French travelers hospitalized with malaria.
  • To identify factors contributing to malaria infection in travelers.

Summary:

  • Eighty-five malaria patients were analyzed; 54% reported no chemoprophylaxis, 22% had inadequate prophylaxis, and 15% had poor intermittent adherence.
  • Only 8% demonstrated good compliance with recommended malaria chemoprophylaxis.
  • 32% of patients had consulted prior to travel and received prophylaxis recommendations.

Impact:

  • Findings highlight poor chemoprophylaxis compliance as a primary cause of imported malaria.
  • Understanding non-compliance factors can enhance pre-travel advice and reduce malaria incidence in travelers.
