Abstract
Imported Plasmodium falciparum malaria represents a life-threatening condition in non-endemic settings, particularly among non-immune individuals. Despite advances in early diagnosis and the use of intravenous artesunate, mortality remains significant in severe forms requiring intensive care. We report a fatal case of severe imported malaria in Morocco and provide a comprehensive, evidence-based review integrating international (WHO), European, French (SFAR), and Moroccan management protocols. This article aims to serve as a practical and scientific reference for intensivists and resident physicians managing severe malaria.
