Abstract
In the past 45 years there have been only two cases of congenital malaria in the United States. A third case, caused by Plasmodium malariœ is described in an infant born in California in 1967. The mother had no recent history of malaria; her last attack being in China in 1945. High titres of malaria antibodies were found on indirect fluorescent-antibody testing of serum from both mother and baby, and IgM malaria antibodies were demonstrated in the baby's serum before chemotherapy.
