Abstract:

Malaria is an endemic infectious disease caused by Plasmodium and is mainly prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas. Despite the World Health Organization’s announcement of the country’s malaria elimination certification in 2021, the threat of imported malaria will persist as international travel increases. In order to facilitate clinicians’ understanding and rational treatment of malaria and to improve the diagnosis and treatment of malaria, we have invited experts in the relevant field of infectious diseases and parasitic diseases in China to prepare the guidelines for malaria diagnosis and treatment. The guidelines introduce the etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, treatment, care, and prevention of malaria, emphasising on treatment options for different clinical conditions, so that the clinician can use them properly.
