Özet

Malaria has been commonly determined in tropical and subtropical regions and the Plasmadium (P.) vivax generally occurs in our country, Turkey. However, in the people who have been travelling abroad from Turkey P. falciparum and P. malaria were also detected. The diagnosis was confirmed by microscopy of Giemsa stained thin and thick blood slides in four cases, at a magnification of 1000. The diagnosis of four cases was made by seeing the gametocytes of P.falciparum in thin blood films. The cases were found in Hatay region and the patients are those working abroad. The cases are presented in order to emphasize on the necessity of giving education on public health and taking the precautions for the prevention of the disease and in order to draw attention to malaria diseases caused by different species from abroad and to the fact that it can be seen in local cases as well.
