N2 - Plasmodium falciparum and to some extent malaria caused by other species of Plasmodia can quickly lead to cerebral malaria, acute renal failure, or acute respiratory distress syndrome. The mortality rate for patients with severe malaria lies around 10%. Malaria must be given priority in the differential diagnosis of travelers returning febrile from endemic areas. Treatment requires prompt administration of safe and fast-acting antimalarials, which in severe malaria is treatment with quinine or artesunate. Hospitals must be prepared to diagnose and treat malaria patients-or have a standard operating procedure for transferring the patient to a specialized center.
