Abstract
In Primorsky Krai, 64 malaria cases were registered from 1997 to 2024. Two of them were with a fatal outcome, the reasons for which were delay by patients in seeking medical attention and untimely therapy. Tropical malaria was registered more frequently (51.5 + 12.2%) than vivax malaria (45.3 + 12.2%). The risk areas for malaria infection are Southeast Asia, Africa, and Russia's neighboring states. Russian citizens who visited malaria-endemic countries as tourists or employees of domestic and foreign companies constituted 86% of the cases. Malaria was diagnosed predominantly in men (92.2 + 6.6%). This paper presents a clinical case of severe imported tropical malaria with a favorable outcome.
