Profilaxia da Malária em Viajantes

Abstract

Imported malaria is still a major public health issue. Despite the personal protection measures have an important role in malaria prevention, it remains dependent on chemoprophylaxis. There must be a distinction between prophylaxis of P.falciparum malaria and malaria caused by relapsing species, such as P.vivax. Prophylaxis of falciparum malaria is hindered by increased resistance to drugs and the high cost of some medications. For P.vivax malaria prophylaxis, beyond primaquine, there is no available alternative. This review aims to understand the pathophysiology of the disease and, thenceforth, reach conclusions about the best preventive solutions. A malária importada é ainda um problema de saúde pública importante. Apesar das medidas de protecção pessoal terem um papel importante, a prevenção da malária continua dependente de quimioprofilaxia. Deve haver distinção entre profilaxia da malária por P.falciparum e da malária por espécies recidivantes como P.vivax. A profilaxia da malária falciparum é dificultada pelo aumento das resistências a fármacos e pelo elevado custo de certos medicamentos. Para a prevenção da doença por P.vivax, além da primaquina, não há uma alternativa disponível. Esta revisão pretende entender a fisiopatogenia da doença e, a partir daí, chegar a conclusões acerca das melhores soluções profiláticas.
