A total of 12 Vietnamese patients (6 in each group) were randomized to receive two MQ-DHA regimens as follows: regimen-A: an initial oral dose of 300 mg DH...
متن کاملArtesunate and Mefloquine Combination for Falciparum Malaria Treatment
The combination of artesunate and mefloquine is currently one of the most effective treatments for multidrug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Simultaneous, rather than sequential treatment with the two drugs, would allow better patient compliance. We therefore evaluated threeday treatment with artesunate combined with either 2 or 3 days of mefloquine co-administered once a day with arte...
