Overview

The authors present an interesting tase-record of a patient who repeatedly stayed in Bali. During a seven-month period he had three attacks of malaria.

The authors emphasize the necessity of rapid diagnosis, correct treatment and the importance of anti-malaria prophylaxis.

Key words:
malaria - anti-malaria prophylaxis - hanging drop - therapy.
