ABSTRACT
Malaria is a worldwide problem with significant disease burden in endemic areas, including part of sub-Saharan Africa and several countries in South and Central America. With increasing patterns of global migration, more children with malaria are presenting to nonendemic countries, a phenomenon known as imported malaria. This review summarizes the diagnosis and management of children with imported malaria, with emphasis on key features of the travel history, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies in the acute setting.
