Abstract

Every year people die from malaria in Britain and other industrialised countries. Most of these deaths are avoidable: they occur because a patient or doctor has underestimated the severity of the disease or has not considered the diagnosis early enough. This article provides the essential facts on treating malaria in adults in a non-endemic setting and is based on the best available evidence.
