Overview

Malaria is a serious infection, and prevention traditionally relies on chemoprophylaxis during and after exposure. The risk of side effects from chemoprophylaxis needs to be balanced against the risk of infection.

It is not possible to prescribe efficient prophylaxis to pregnant women in the first trimester or infants below 11 kilograms of body weight travelling to tropical Africa.
