Abstract

Malaria is a dangerous infectious disease that can become an epidemic with a high mortality rate. In recent years, the world has witnessed emerging pandemics such as COVID-19, monkey flu, and malaria that have a chance to break out again. The objective of the study was to describe the epidemiological characteristics and outcomes of treatment of malaria over the past 5 years. A cross-sectional descriptive study on 65 malaria patients over 18 years old diagnosed and treated at the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases from January 2017 to June 2022. The results show that in the past 5 years, at the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases, the number of malaria patients with parasite infections in Vietnam was low, accounting for 9.2%, but more than 90.8% had sources of infection from other countries (mainly in Africa with 84.5%). The number of patients tested for malaria decreased gradually from 2017 to 2022, however, there was a re-emergence of malaria patients with the COVID-19 pandemic. 81% of malaria patients without complications were cured, 85.7% of malaria patients with complications were cured. There is a shift in the source of malaria transmission in the world.
