    Abstract: We   report   a   continuous   increase   of    imported   malaria   cases  in  a  Madrid  District,  from 8 patients  seen  in  year  1999  to  39 in year 2004, parallel to the rising of immigrant population from malarious areas along the past 6 years. We describe their epidemiological and parasitological characteristics. <I>Plasmodium falciparum</I> was the most frequent species observed, accounting for 68% of the cases. Most patients were immigrants recently settled in Spain who return after a visit to their countries of origin, mainly sub-Saharan countries.
