Blimey!
Contracting malaria is a serious business; it never leaves your system and can cause recurring illness all your life. Sadly it kills lots of people, especially children, in the third world where they can't access adequate treatment.
I don't understand how this can happen if you take one of the prescribed drugs. Some do need to be taken for a while in advance of travelling, if she was 'whisked away' for a romantic surprise maybe this didn't happen.

Not sure jno,
I last went to east africa in 2006 and i believe the two or three options drug wise were all supposed to give total protection. We used Malarone.
On a previous trip, Mrs Zeuhl had started with a different drug that affected her balance. If I remember right, the only risky option was high-dose antibiotics sometimes chosen by people with intolerance to the main drugs.

Before malarone came into use, as I recall, some people took lariam; this unfortunately caused occasional psychotic episodes, so is only prescribed with great care.
