Abstract

To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of imported malaria cases and investigate the influencing factors of severe cases in Anhui Province, so as to provide the evidence for improving the control strategy. The epidemiological data of imported malaria cases in Anhui Province from January 1st, 2012 to April 18th, 2017 were collected and analyzed. The imported malaria cases in Anhui Province were mainly young men of migrant workers. There were imported malaria cases in 79% (83/105) of counties (districts) in Anhui Province.. Totally 686 imported malaria cases were recorded, in which there were 62 severe cases (9.04%), and four death cases with the mortality rate of 0.58%. The age, education, initial diagnosed departments, initial diagnosed results, time from onset to seeing a doctor, and time from seeing a doctor to diagnosis were the influencing factors for the severe cases. The proportion of severe imported malaria cases is high in Anhui Province. The monitoring sensitivity, clinician's awareness of malaria diagnosis, and health education for migrant workers should be improved.
