Prevention of malaria in long-term travelers
Article Abstract:
The risk of malaria in long-term travelers, and the safety and tolerability of malaria chemoprophylaxis during long-term use is examined and prevention strategies including continuous chemoprophylaxis, stand-by emergency self-treatment and seasonal prophylaxis are considered. The results suggest that prevention of malaria in long-term travelers is a complex issue, requiring expert advice from travel medicine specialists and the recommendations for prevention must be individualized.
