    Area of Science:

    • Tropical medicine
    • Infectious diseases
    • Parasitology

    Background:

    • Malaria diagnosis and treatment protocols.
    • Challenges in managing malaria patients in emergency departments.
    • Trends in outpatient malaria care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze trends in malaria diagnosis and treatment efficiency.
    • To evaluate the feasibility of outpatient management for malaria patients.
    • To assess the effectiveness of current malaria treatment regimens.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of malaria cases over five years.
    • Analysis of diagnostic methods, including Wright's stained peripheral blood smear.
    • Evaluation of treatment outcomes and management settings (inpatient vs. outpatient).

    Main Results:

    • Eleven malaria cases were identified over five years.
    • Ten patients were diagnosed using routine peripheral blood smears.
    • Current oral chloroquine regimens facilitate outpatient management for most patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Malaria diagnosis and outpatient treatment are becoming more efficient.
    • Oral chloroquine is effective for outpatient malaria management.
    • Further consultation is recommended for species determination and drug resistance assessment.
