Carl,

Your best bet is the Vaccine Institute (roughly translated) in Mohandessin. It's a 5 minutes bike ride from my place. It's on El-Batal Ahmad Abd El_Aziz street. Don't remember the number.

Cabron,
If you don't come right with that,
you can get a malaria test and treatment kit from the mediclinics in SOuth Africa.

It is not very big, probably weighs only a few hundred grams, so if you have friends or relatives in SA, you could probably get one couriered to you quite cheaply.

The kit cost me R350 when I brought one last
month.

If you need more details, let me know and I'll dig up a phone number for you.

Geoff
