What Navy instruction covers MALARIA PREVENTION AND CONTROL?
|
NAVMEDCOM INSTRUCTION 6230.2
|
|
How do you report suspected or confirmed malaria cases? What should be included in the report?
|
Use the DISEASE ALERT REPORT.
A military DAR should include the patient's itinerary during the previous 3 months and the types and duration of any chemoprophylaxis or treatment medications taken. |
|
Before being eligible to donate blood, individuals treated for Malaria must wait how many years from the date treatment was finished?
|
3 years
(Individuals who were in malaria-risk areas and were required to take chemoprophylaxis because of a perceived risk of exposure, must also wait 3 years from the time chemoprophylaxis was finished) |
|
When donating blood, individuals who visited a malaria-risk area and remained asymtomatic, but were not required to take chemoprophylaxis because of negligible risk of exposure, must wait how long before donating?
|
6 months
|
|
When donating blood, individuals who were placed on chemoprophylaxis because of intended travel into a malaria-risk area, but did not visit the area subsequently (and stopped chemoprophylaxis), must wait how long before donating?
|
These individuals have no required waiting period.
|
|
It is important that what test be documented in all Navy, Marine Corps, and MSC personnel's medical record before visiting or deploying to a malaria-risk area?
|
G-6-PD test results
|
|
Any person who is G-6-PD deficient has a risk of hemolysis associated with taking what drug for chemoprophylaxis or treatment?
|
Primaquine
(G-6-PD deficient individuals must be identified because they may need special chemoprophylaxis and treatment protocols) |
|
On an individual basis, what is the most important means for an individual to prevent becoming infected with malaria?
|
Using PERSONAL PROTECTIVE MEASURES
(More so than chemoprophylaxis) |
|
Although CHLOROQUINE and PRIMAQUINE are traditionally used for malaria chemoprophylaxis, patterns of resistance and drug requirements can change frequently. Therefore, who should the MDR of fleet units deploying to malaria-risk areas contact prior to deployment?
|
The NAVENPVNTMEDU (cognivent for the homeport area)
You want to find out about the latest malaria information and requirements. |
|
What test performs a screening for the presence of chloroquine in the urine?
|
Wilson-Edeson Test
|
|
The Wilson-Edeson Test has an approximately what percent false negative rate?
|
15%
This means that a negative test cannot be used to "prove" an individual member has not been taking chloroquine. |
