| Abstract (English): | Malaria is a protozoan infectious disease caused by parasites of Plasmodium genus. Most cases are caused by Plasmodium vivax, although the more severe clinical features are observed by Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium knowlesi infection. Worldwide estimation of malaria cases during 2010 was of 216 million persons infected, approximately 81% of them (174 million cases) were recorded in Africa. In Venezuela, there were 45,743 malaria cases in 2011. Pathogenesis of the disease is based on the cyclic invasion and rupture of erythrocytes, which leads to the generation of malarial paroxysms, comprising chills, fever, sweating and hemodynamic changes that could evolve in worst cases to splenic rupture in Plasmodium vivax infection, or during severe malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum infection. The gold standard diagnostic procedure remains the thick and thin stained blood smears. The major preventive measure is to avoid mosquito bites, the vector, through the use of repellents, mosquito nets, and other measures. The disease is presenting a resurgence in Venezuela and the commemoration of the centenary of Professor Félix Pifano, MD, a pioneer of Tropical Medicine studies, we considered important to update this endemic disease that was assessed and studied with great dedication by Professor Pifano. Nowdays, as happen in past years, when malaria decimated patriot and royalist armies, during Bolivar independence war, malaria continue presents a resurgence, affecting the Venezuelan population.

| Abstract (Spanish): | La malaria o paludismo es una enfermedad infecciosa causada por protozoarios del género Plasmodium. La mayoría de los casos los ocasiona el Plasmodium vivax, aunque los de mayor gravedad son a causa de Plasmodium falciparum y Plasmodium knowlesi. Se calcula que durante 2010, en el mundo, se produjeron unos 216 millones de casos de paludismo, de los cuales, aproximadamente 81% (174 millones de casos), se registraron en África. En Venezuela, en el año 2011 se produjeron 45.743 casos. La patogenia está fundamentada en la invasión y rompimiento de manera cíclica de los eritrocitos, lo cual conduce a la generación de paroxismos maláricos consistentes en escalofríos, fiebre y sudoración y a cambios hemodinámicos que, en el peor de los casos pueden terminar en rotura esplénica si se trata de infección por Plasmodium vivax o malaria grave si es por Plasmodium falciparum. Para el diagnóstico de certeza el estándar de oro sigue siendo un extendido y gota gruesa de sangre periférica. La prevención consiste fundamentalmente en evitar la inoculación del vector que transmite la malaria, mediante el uso de repelentes y mosquiteros, entre otros. La enfermedad presenta un resurgimiento en Venezuela y motivados por la conmemoración del centenario de Félix Pifano, pionero de la Medicina Tropical, hemos actualizado la enfermedad, por considerar que esta endemia fue evaluada y atendida con gran dedicación por el maestro tropicalista. Hoy como ayer, cuando la malaria diezmara a los ejércitos patriota y libertador durante la independencia bolivariana, la enfermedad continúa con su último resurgimiento afectando a la población venezolana.
