By J. Butler Hamilton, M.D., Assistant Surgeon, R. A., Allahabad. I Will first state briefly the arrangement I made for carrying out the experiments, and quote from my diary on the subject, August 3rd, 1870. " In consequence of a Circular from the Inspector-General of Hospitals, ordering a, strict trial to be made of alkaloids other than quinine, both as prophylactics, and in the treatment of m...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of cases with malaria are two important components of malaria control strategy. The independent assessment of the operational feasibility of rapid diagnostic kits and blister packs for malaria in some selected high transmission areas of Orissa and Chhattisgarh was done with the objectives to assess the knowledge and skills of the param...

OBJECTIVE International travelers from non-endemic areas are at high risk of contracting malaria due to their lack of immunity. Prevention is therefore of outmost importance and is achieved through effective and safe chemoprophylaxis, which reduces the risk of fatal disease. Among the various antimalarial drugs available, the synergistic combination of atovaquone and proguanil (A/P) (Malarone((...

Malaria remains globally the most important parasitic disease of man. Data on its deleterious effects during pregnancy have been extensively documented in hyperendemic, holoendemic, and mesoendemic areas from Africa and Asia where Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for almost all infections. However, knowledge about malaria during pregnancy in areas where transmission is unstable and P. vivax...

INTRODUCTION Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) stood at center in the current efforts to prevent and control malaria at community and individual levels. Though ITNs are the most prominent measure for large-scale deployment in highly endemic areas their compliance in terms of ownership and usage needs attention. The aim of this study was therefore to determine the ownership and utilization pattern...

background: use of bed-net continues to offer potential strategy for malaria prevention in endemic areas. local communi­ties are indispensable during design and implementation stages. methods: a cross-sectional study of 192 randomly selected inhabitants was carried out in malarious zone, siahoo dire­strict, hormozgan province, southern iran. in addition, we monitored human landing periodicity o...

perature beyond the range of 2? or 3? between the morning and evening indication. The very fact that quinine in such cases is powerless to make any impression on their course, removes their etiology from the sphere of malarious influence. For such cases Sir Joseph Fayrer has preferred the name of typho-malarial, inasmuch aa they combine the characteristics of both, and are yet distinctive in th...

malaria is one of the worldwide parasitic diseases which threaten the life of hundreds of millions of people at the malarious areas each year. the emergence of chloroquine-resistant strains of plasmodium falciparum in most of the malarious areas has encountered the relevant countries with some difficulties about treating the acute cases of the disease particulary if the monotherapy regimen has ...
