背景：每年在国际旅行者中报告的疟疾病例超过3万例。尽管疟疾控制有所改善，但由于对风险的认识不准确和旅行前准备不够理想，疟疾继续威胁旅行者。方法：从2003年1月至2016年7月旅行后确诊的疟疾诊断记录中获取gesentinel，这是一个监测旅行相关发病率的全球旅行和热带药物提供者监测网络。如果暴露国缺失或无法确定，或伴有与疟疾无关的急性诊断，则排除记录。对记录进行分析，以描述患有疟疾的国际旅行者的人口学和临床特征。结果：共纳入5689名旅客；325人是儿童
Background: More than 30,000 malaria cases are reported annually among international travellers. Despite improvements in malaria control, malaria continues to threaten travellers due to inaccurate perception of risk and sub-optimal pre-travel preparation.Methods: Records with a confirmed malaria diagnosis after travel from January 2003 to July 2016 were obtained from GeoSentinel, a global surveillance network of travel and tropical medicine providers that monitors travel-related morbidity. Records were excluded if exposure country was missing or unascertainable or if there was a concomitant acute diagnosis unrelated to malaria. Records were analyzed to describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of international travellers with malaria.Results: There were 5689 travellers included; 325 were children
