Many malaria cases returning from Africa are being hospitalized.

VTV.vn - A series of malaria cases have been recorded after people returned from Africa. Doctors warn of the risk of severe illness, multi-organ failure, and death if treatment is delayed.

Recently, the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases has been continuously receiving many malaria patients after returning from African countries. All cases have been confirmed to be infected with the Plasmodium falciparum parasite - the most dangerous malaria pathogen currently.

One of the patients is Mr. HVT (36 years old, from Thanh Hoa province ), who previously worked in Congo. During his time working abroad, he contracted malaria several times but only received treatment to control the symptoms. About two weeks after returning to Vietnam, he developed a high fever of nearly 40 degrees Celsius, chills, headache, nausea, and persistent fatigue, requiring hospitalization.

Another case is Mr. MTH (45 years old, from Tuyen Quang ), a worker in Angola. Although he had previously contracted malaria, he had not received complete treatment. After returning to Vietnam, he experienced a relapse with a high fever of 40.2 degrees Celsius accompanied by severe chills. Test results confirmed that the patient was positive for the Plasmodium falciparum parasite and was transferred to the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases for specialized treatment.
