Malaria caused by P. falciparum, is endemic in tropical and subtropical areas but is seen as sporadic cases in our country.

The cases are presented in order to emphasize on the necessity of giving education to the people going to endemic areas from our country for work or travel and on the necessity of taking chemoprophylaxis and to take attention that EET may be preffered in the therapy of severe malaria cases.
