A typical example is Mr. HVT (36 years old, from Thanh Hoa province ), who previously worked in Congo. According to the patient, during his time working there, especially during the rainy season, he suffered from malaria multiple times. Each time he had a fever, he only received treatment to reduce the fever with intravenous fluids before continuing to work.

Concerned about his deteriorating health, Mr. T decided to return to Vietnam for treatment. However, about two weeks after returning home, he experienced a recurrence of high fever (nearly 40°C), chills, headache, nausea, dizziness, and persistent fatigue. Recognizing the similar symptoms to previous malaria attacks, his family took him to the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases.

Also receiving treatment here is Mr. MTH (45 years old, from Tuyen Quang ), a former migrant worker in Angola. While working abroad, he contracted malaria but did not receive complete treatment. Two months after returning to Vietnam, he experienced another fever and self-medicated with the remaining medicine he had brought from Angola for several days until the symptoms subsided.

A week before hospitalization, Mr. H suddenly developed a high fever of 40.2°C, accompanied by severe chills that persisted despite multiple blankets. Each fever episode lasted approximately three hours and occurred twice a day. At a local medical facility, tests confirmed he was positive for the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. He was immediately transferred to the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases for specialized treatment.

According to Dr. Tran Duy Hung, Head of the Virology - Parasitology Department, both patients were admitted with high fever, chills, headache, and general body aches, and had a history of living and working in African countries. Blood test results showed infection with Plasmodium falciparum, a malaria parasite.

"This is the most common parasite causing malaria and is also the cause of many severe cases. If not treated promptly, patients may face the risk of severe illness, multi-organ failure, and death," Dr. Hung emphasized.

Following intensive treatment with specific antimalarial drugs via injection and oral administration, both patients responded well. Their fever was controlled, laboratory indicators improved significantly, their health stabilized, and they are continuing to be monitored.
