We report a case of falciparum malaria in a 2 years old boy, from Burkina Faso. The diagnosis was made by anamnesis, clinical presentation and thin blood smear features. The prevalence of cloroquine-resistence in Burkina Faso is elevated, thus the therapy was made with 2 doses of mefloquine, according to the most recent guidelines.
