Malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) may be missed if patients present with symptoms outside of the expected incubation period. We describe two patients who developed Pf malaria more than one year after visiting malaria-endemic countries. Both worked at an international airport, but no source of infection was identified.

Abstract This report of fatal falciparum malaria emphasizes an unusual but potentially hazardous complication of blood transfusion. To our knowledge this is the first instance of fatal Plasmodium falciparum infection transmitted by this means. The source of infection was an asymptomatic donor who had resided outside an endemic area for more than 30 months. This is the longest interval thus far recorded that falciparum malaria has remained latent before transmission by transfusion.

ABSTRACT We report a case of febrile Plasmodium falciparum malaria in a 36-year-old male patient occurring 14 years after immigration from and more than 12 months since a return visit to the endemic area. The critical need for awareness regarding late presentations of P. falciparum is discussed.
