Abstract
Background
Since 2014, a considerable increase in Plasmodium vivax malaria has been observed in Germany. The majority of cases was seen in Eritrean refugees.
Methods
All patients with P. vivax
malaria admitted to the University Medical Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf
Germany from 2011 until August 2015 were retrospectively identified by
the hospital coding system and data was matched with records from the
laboratory diagnostics unit of the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical
Medicine, Hamburg, Germany.
Results
Between May 2014 and August
2015, 37 cases were reported in newly-arrived Eritrean refugees at the
University Medical Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf, Germany. Relapses occurred
due to difficulties in procurement of primaquine.
Conclusion
Countries hosting Eritrean
refugees need to be aware of vivax malaria occurring in this group and
the risk of autochthonous cases due to local transmission by indigenous,
vector competent Anopheles species.
