Abstract
Vector-borne diseases can be contracted by exposure to contaminated material. This mode of transmission is not geographically restricted to the presence of a vector. Unexpected infection in regions of low incidence potentially delays diagnosis. We report a case of severe falciparum malaria following nosocomial Plasmodium falciparum transmission in nonendemic Germany.
