Abstract

Penyakit malaria merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan terbesar di sebagian wilayah negara tropis yang dapat menyerang semua orang dari setiap golongan umur. Patogenesis terjadinya malaria sangat komplek dan dapat menyebabkan gejala klinik yang berat dengan komplikasi, gejala ringan tanpa komplikasi, hingga gejala yang asimtomatik. Pada daerah endemik malaria, proporsi terbesar malaria adalah malaria asimtomatik. Infeksi malaria asimtomatik masih sedikit dimengerti oleh kebanyakan orang. Sebagian besar penderita malaria asimtomatik tidak terdiagnosis dan tidak mendapatkan terapi. Penderita malaria asimtomatik membawa gametosit yang berperan penting dalam penularan penyakit malaria, keadaan ini akan mengakibatkan penderita carrier (pembawa penyakit) atau penderita malaria tanpa gejala klinis (asymptomatic) yang setiap saat dapat  menularkan parasit kepada orang lain, sehingga kasus baru bahkan kejadian luar biasa (KLB) malaria bisa terjadi pada waktu yang tidak terduga. Oleh karena itu artikel review ini dibuat untuk mendiskusikan mengenai permasalahan malaria asimtomatik guna perkembangan strategi pengendalian malaria dalam menurunkan angka kejadian penyakit malaria.
