A 65-year-old Israeli working in Welkait, Ethiopia, not using malaria prophylaxis, developed fever. Malaria rapid detection test was consistent with non-falciparum malaria (plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase+/histidine-rich protein− [LDH+/HRP−]) but microscopy showed typical Plasmodium falciparum. HRP2/3 were negative by polymerase chain reaction. The patient suffered two recrudescence episodes following artemether–lumefantrine and atovaquone–proguanil treatments, and responded to mefloquine treatment.
