Abstract
In the past 10-15 years there has been a continuous increase of imported cases of malaria in the Federal Republic of Germany. The case of a two-year-old child of a Turkish foreign worker with severe tertian malaria complicated by pulmonary edema is described. In general tertian malaria is rarely fatal to adults, but in children the primary attack can be life threatening.
