Factors associated with hospitalizations due to severe malaria in the non-endemic Brazilian region: a case–control study in the extra-Amazon Region from 2011 to 2019

Travel to the Amazon Region or other countries also poses a challenge, requiring strengthened traveller health strategies and increased surveillance awareness to promptly suspect and identify cases.
