Malaria Recurs After Dormant Years In Iowa Woman
Ruth Bickel of McGregor accompanied her daughter Inge to Liberia for volunteer nursing work. After taking anti malaria medicine before departure she contracted malaria again in Liberia and was flown back to the United States for treatment. Doctors suspect the drug triggered a dormant malaria case reported to have recurred after four years with a record of 42 years in rare instances. The six week ordeal ended with continued treatment at University hospitals in Iowa City.
