Epidemiological, Clinical, and Laboratory Evaluation of Plasmodium falciparum Malaria Cases Followed in Firat University Hospital: A 6-Year Retrospective Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: The number of import cases is increasing owing to tourism, migration, and deficiency in eradication programs. Malaria caused by P. falciparum is an import case in Turkey. The current study emphasizes on the necessity of providing proper education to Turkish individuals traveling to endemic areas for the purpose of work or travel and on the necessity of initiating chemoprophylaxis.
