Objective:
To retrospectively overview the malaria death cases reported in Henan Province and analyze the cause of death.
Methods:
The data including basic information, epidemiological survey and medical records of malaria death cases in Henan Province from 2010 to 2015 were collected and analyzed.
Results:
In the six years, a total of 14 malaria patients were dead. All the death patients were adult males and imported from Africa. They had definite histories of living in malaria-epidemic areas and the symptoms of fever. Twelve patients were diagnosed as malaria after at least twice diagnoses. The average time from symptom appearing to correct diagnosis was 6.5 d. The causes of deaths were misdiagnosis and delayed treatment.
Conclusions:
The major reasons of malaria death cases in Henan Province are the failure of correct diagnosis and prompt treatment. Health education of malaria prevention and diagnosis and treatment training of malaria should be strengthened in order to improve the public awareness and the diagnosis ability of clinical doctors for malaria, which can prevent the death of imported malaria cases.
