ABSTRACT
What is already known about this topic? China's "1-3-7" approach outlines specific targets to guide and monitor the processes of case reporting, investigation, and response. However, few studies have examined the time intervals preceding the initial step, and the timeline from the arrival of imported malaria cases in China to their diagnosis has been largely overlooked. What is added by this report? The study demonstrated that the median duration from arrival in China to the onset of symptoms for P. ovale was 78 days, with 71.59% of imported cases manifesting symptoms after more than one month. For P. vivax, the median interval was 42 days, with 55.91% exceeding one month. Additionally, the median time from symptom onset to malaria treatment in China between 2014 and 2021 was 2 days, with an interquartile range (IQR) of 1-4 days. What are the implications for public health practice? This study represents the initial effort to delineate the chronology of imported malaria cases, from their arrival in China to their subsequent treatment. The results underscore the importance of providing malaria health education to populations arriving from overseas. Furthermore, enhancing physician training is crucial for improving the diagnosis of malaria.
