The death rate is surprising. I imagine that is because, as the article implies, the patients did not get diagnosed early because nobody thought it was malaria ("Because patients may not have traveled to a malaria-risk area, the disease can also be diagnosed later than usual.")
Fun fact: I got malaria in 1984. I think new strains have become more deadly since then. It was certainly the fastest weight loss of my life, but since I didn't really have excess weight to lose, it wasn't a good thing. When my mother first saw me, she said, "You left your butt in India!"
