| Abstract |
|
Malaria is known to have been eradicated for a few decades through the persistent efforts of the national health program in South Korea. However, malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax has started to reappear incidiously among military personnel near to the De-militarized Zone since 1993. From that time on the number of malarial cases have increased abruptly year by year. However, congenital malaria in a neonate is extreamly rare in Korea. We experienced one case of malaria in a neonate who was born from a mother affected by malaria. This neonate was born at 33＋3 weeks of gestational age. Here we present this case with a brief review of the literature. |
