抄録

Twenty-one cases of ovale malaria were seen among 25 patients of benign tertian malaria contracted during visits to African countries, south of the Sahara. This reflects an increase in the number of Japanese visiting this area as P. ovale is, with a few exceptions, endemic only in tropical African countries. Nigeria, Malawi and Guinea were the most frequent countries of infection with 6, 4 and 3 cases, respectively.<BR>One patient each with vivax malaria was infected in Malawi, Guinea and Mali; one case was infected in the island country of Madagascar in East Africa.<BR>Because both P. ovale and P. vivax exist in tropical African countries, we stress the importance of careful examination of blood smears when diagnosing malaria.
