Malaria Case Surveillance Report Form

CDC provides a Malaria Case Surveillance Report Form (119 KB/2 pages) with Directions(66 KB/2 pages). Print and mail the completed form to the address at the top of the surveillance form or fax it to CDC, Malaria Branch, at 770-488-4206.

Malaria is a reportable disease in the United States and its territories. Health-care providers should report all cases of laboratory-confirmed malaria occurring in the United States and its territories to their local or state health department. Reports are transmitted to CDC through the National Malaria Surveillance System (NMSS). Surveillance forms may be sent to CDC's Malaria Branch either by mail (at the address at the top of the form) or by fax (at 770-488-4206).

To report an adverse event to an antimalarial drug

If your patient has experienced an adverse event while taking an antimalarial drug, you can report that side effect to MedWatch, the FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program. Reporting an event is voluntary. However, your participation is encouraged in order to keep safe and effective drugs and devices available on the market.

To submit your voluntary report, do one of the following:

• Complete the voluntary form 3500 online at www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/ *
• Call 1-800-FDA-1088 to report by telephone
• Download a copy of the form and either fax it to 1-800-FDA-0178 or mail it using the postage-paid addressed form.
