Multidisciplinary Approach of a Male Case of Imported Malaria, HIV Chronic Infection, and Latent Syphilis.
Infect Dis Rep
November 2024
Hospital Juárez de México, Mexico City 07760, Mexico.
Background: The current economic and social crisis in Latin America has caused migration to the USA, bringing with it Public Health challenges due to the importation of various infectious diseases. Migrants, particularly those with chronic conditions, such as HIV infection and other sexually transmitted infections (STI), are at greater risk due to pharmacological interruption and access to medical care, so the timely detection of diseases acquired during their migration, such as malaria, is crucial to avoid health complications.
Objective: To outline by a multidisciplinary approach (Infectology, Parasitology, Epidemiology, molecular Biology, Venereology, and Public Health) the diagnosis and management of a male case with malaria imported to Mexican territory, HIV chronic infection, and latent syphilis.
Suboptimal Doses of Antimalarials Relative to Increasing Body Weight and the Risk of Recurrence in the Republic of Korea Armed Forces, 2012-2021.

December 2024
Department of Internal Medicine, Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital, Anyang, Korea.
Background: We aimed to analyze the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of malaria caused by among military members of the Republic of Korea (ROK).
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of patients diagnosed with malaria in 16 military hospitals in the ROK between 2012-2021, excluding other types of malaria, as well as imported cases and those treated in civilian hospitals.
Results: In total, 653 patients were treated for malaria.
Assessing tafenoquine implementation in Brazil: a qualitative evaluation of perceptions of healthcare providers and Plasmodium vivax patients (QualiTRuST Study).

Fundação de Medicina Tropical Dr Heitor Vieira Dourado, Manaus, Brazil.
Background: To eliminate malaria by 2035, Brazil must address Plasmodium vivax. Previously, first-line treatment was chloroquine plus 7-day primaquine (PQ) without glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency testing. In 2021, point-of-care quantitative G6PD testing and single-dose tafenoquine (TQ) were piloted in two municipalities.

Malaria kills millions of people annually, and it is one of the major causes of preventable mortality in the world. Of the different plasmodium species that induce malaria, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax account for the most severe form of malarial disease in humans. This review focuses on understanding preventive measures, mutation-based disease evolution, malaria-related biomarkers, and potential plant bioactive components for the treatment and management of malaria.

Department of Medical Parasitology, School of Biomedical and Laboratory Sciences, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia.
Background: Malaria poses a significant public health threat globally, particularly in African regions, where asymptomatic malaria is a considerable logistic problem. Individuals with asymptomatic malaria do not seek treatment, and thus they are invisible to health facilities and represent a substantial hidden reservoir of Plasmodium species. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic malaria and its associated factors in Gorgora, western Dembia district, Northwest Ethiopia.
