Keywords:
Malaria, Plasmodium, endemics.Abstract
Introduction: malaria is the most frequent tropical infectious disease all over the world and depending on the subtype of Plasmodiaits geographical distribution can be defined. The number of reported cases has increased in the last years, due to the increase in the number of travellers to endemic areas, lacking of appropriate prevention and to the augmentation of much more resistant parasites to the drugs used for their treatment.Clinical case: a case is presented, showing anacute feverish syndrome and epidemiological antecedent of returning of Equatorial Guinea, a country where Malaria is considered endemic.
Conclusions: the malaria due to Plasmodium vivax is considered a disease having very low incidence, that shows a benign clinical course and limited geographical distribution to areas of Asia, South America; however in this paper it has been showed the infection for P. vivax in a traveller coming from Equatorial Guinea where the P. falciparum is the most frequent species.
