We encourage those individuals who are planning to visit countries with hot climates, to contact the infectious diseases doctor beforehand for advice and tips on prophylaxis of malaria. After returning home you must contact the attending physician and inform about your arrival from tropical countries. The physician may prescribe a further reception of the preparation. In individual cases malaria can occur in more serotinal terms, even with the use of antimalarial drugs.
