What’s really different for upcoming guidelines??
New format to country of risk Statements about length of time of
exposure in lower risk areas Giving providers latitude to make
individualized recommendations

WHO World Malaria Report 2011
Global Malaria Situation:
Millennium Development Goal – some progress…
3.3 billion at risk ● 106 countries ● 45 within Africa
Cases 81% in tropical Africa
91% deaths SSA
Most severe effects ● Children less 5 years ● Pregnant women

What in the world been happening with Malaria?
● Worldwide there has been a push to control malaria ● Improved access to bed nets ● Improved diagnostics ● Improved therapy
● However we do see resurgence of malaria ● civil unrest, natural disasters and global warming
● Epidemics in areas of previous low endemicity ● increasing falciparum (DR, Jamaica, Bahamas)
● Increasing malaria resistance ● especially in chloroquine resistant falciparum

Malaria in Travelers # 1 life-threatening infection > 20 million at risk Approx. 30,000 acquire malaria/yr
Canadian travelers ● 1 million potentially at risk ● 350-500 cases per year
US travelers ● 1500 cases per year
Mortality (PF): overall 1-4% > 40 yrs 6% > 70 yrs 30% severe >20%

So do we really have to worry about malaria in our travellers? 29 year old lady 3 week journey to Togo and Ghana
No malaria prophylaxis Minimal mosquito prevention measures

but how are you going to reach them??
Education of travellers for proper management of fever illness after return
Children that means their parents

Malaria: Problems for North American health care providers ◆ Not seriously considering the diagnosis ◆ Not recognizing fever in a returning
traveler /recent immigrant as a MEDICAL EMERGENCY
◆ Not recognizing malaria as a medical emergency
◆ Not appreciating how quickly a patient can become gravely ill

CATMAT Guidlines 2009
Four (five) components of malaria prevention should be discussed with the traveller (ABCDE):
a. the risk of acquiring malaria b. personal protective measures to prevent mosquito
bites c. chemoprophylactic drugs (where appropriate) d. the need to seek early diagnosis and treatment for
a febrile illness e. educate providers about appropriate management
of febrile traveler

Standby Treatment/ Reliable Supply Medicine Means different things in different
countries EU recommendations many places no Px,
instead carry SBT New term from CDC – reliable supply medicine North America usually reserved for those who
will not take prophylaxis or else will be far from medical care • can self-initiate therapy on way to getting care
Consider for longer trips or those not taking Px • safe and effective therapy in case Dx with malaria

Artemether-lumefantrine*
Not licenced or available in Canada
In US approved for the treatment of uncomplicated P. falciparum – not for severe infections Not approved for use during pregnancy CDC: Prescribed as a reliable supply medicine
![Page 45: Malaria - GROUPE SANTÉ VOYAGE€¦ · Malaria diagnosis: issues Average lab does not see many malaria cases and may not maintain proficiency Choose to batch malaria testing Provide](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040405/5e9b225c86448c4ccc25ade3/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Reliable supply/ standby therapy* Higher risk of malaria - may be prescribed a full
malaria treatment course to carry with them HOWEVER need to understand
If ill, seek immediate medical attention for diagnosis Can then treat with the full treatment course they are
carrying with them
Avoids the risk of inappropriate drug-drug interactions
Avoids counterfeit medicines Does not deplete local supplies of medicines
Malarone and Coartem are now options

Personal Protection Measures
● Insecticides ● Insecticide impregnated bednets save more than a half
million lives annually ● Safe in pregnancy and for small children ● Insecticide treatment of clothing
● DEET ● Remarkably safe profile, with more than 200,000,000
utilizations annually ● Concerns about DEET formulations leading to
encephalitis NOTsubstantiated in prospective cohorts
