Possible Manifestations of Malaria and Its Appraisal as an Occupational Disease
Možnosti manifestace malárie a její posouzení jako nemoci z povolání
Autoři seznamují se 3 případy onemocnění malárií. Příčinami její manifestace bylo neužívání, přerušení a selhání chemoprofylaxe. Po přerušení následovala manifestace malárie (Plasmodium ovale) za 5 měsíců po skončení pobytu v Nigérii, v případě přerušení se projevy malárie (Plasmodium falciparum) objevily během pobytu v Súdánu, který musel být pro závažnost stavu předčasně ukončen. Ve třetím případě došlo k úmrtí na perakutní malárii (pravděpodobně Plasmodium falciparum - black water fever) během pobytu v Nigérii. Všechna onemocnění byla hlášena jako nemoc z povolání a úmrtí v příčinné souvislosti s ní.

Overview
The present authors report three cases of malaria which broke out:
(1) when chemoprophylaxis was not employed, (2) when chemoprophylaxis was discontinued, and (3) when chemoprophylaxis failed. In the hrst tase, malaria (Plasmodium ovale) broke out 5 months afZer a visu to Nigeria, in the second tase (Plasmodium falciparum) it was manifested during a stay in the Sudan which had to be prematurely terminated due to the serious state of the patient. In the third tase, the patient died of peracute malaria (most probably caused by Plasmodium falciparum - black water fever) during a sojourn in Nigeria. All three diseases esere reported as occupational and deaths resulted in causal connection from the disease
