Malaria has a wordwide incidence of more than one thousand to three thousand million
clinical cases and results in approximately 200 to 300 million deaths per year. Although Korea
was an endemic area of Malaria, it was nearly eradicated from the country. However,
indigenous case of malaria have been reported since 1994. Recently, we experienced a case of
Plasmodium vivax infection in a resident of Seoul. A 25-year old young man who had no
history of being abroad, blood transfusion nor parenteral use of drug visited our hospital due
to fever and chill for 4 days. A peripheral blood smear demonstrated Plasmodium vivax
infection. He was treated with hydroxychoroquine and premaquine without relapse.
