We report a case of malaria occurring after a journey to Guadeloupe, an island, which is considered as being free of malaria. The case report serves to remind that previous areas of endemicity remain receptive for malaria, and that one has to consider malaria in the differential diagnosis of a feverish illness even when a traveller returns from a country where malaria transmission has not been reported.
