Abstract

The South African Department of Health recommends that adequate prophylaxis are taken in the event of travelling to endemic malaria areas in Southern Africa as well as internationally. The increasing incidence of multi-drug resistance to the malaria parasite and especially Plasmodium falciparum, necessitated extreme prudence when considering prophylaxis for travellers to these areas.
