pfk13-Independent Treatment Failure in Four Imported Cases of Plasmodium falciparum Malaria Treated with Artemether-Lumefantrine in the United Kingdom

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2017
We present case histories of four patients treated with artemether-lumefantrine for falciparum malaria in UK hospitals in 2015 to 2016. Each subsequently presented with recurrent symptoms and Plasmodium falciparum parasitemia within 6 weeks of treatment ...

Rapid antigen detection tests for malaria diagnosis in severely ill Papua New Guinean children: a comparative study using Bayesian latent class models. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Although rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have practical advantages over light microscopy (LM) and good sensitivity in severe falciparum malaria in Africa, their utility where severe non-falciparum malaria occurs is unknown.

The treatment of falciparum malaria

Parasitology Today, 1988
Effective treatment for falciparum malaria has been available for over 300 years, and for most of this time physicians have argued over the best doses and the methods of administering antimalarial drugs. A reasonable consensus has since emerged on the treatment of uncomplicated malaria, but there is still disagreement over the management of severe ...

Malaria risk factor assessment using active and passive surveillance data from Aceh Besar, Indonesia, a low endemic, malaria elimination setting with Plasmodium knowlesi, Plasmodium vivax, and Plasmodium falciparum

Malaria Journal, 2016
BackgroundAs malaria transmission declines, it becomes more geographically focused and more likely due to asymptomatic and non-falciparum infections. To inform malaria elimination planning in the context of this changing epidemiology, local assessments ...

Variable effects of non-falciparum species infections on malaria disease severity in high transmission regions in Senegal

Tropical Medicine and Health
In malaria endemic countries, non-falciparum species are often mixed with Plasmodium falciparum in patients with uncomplicated malaria, and their contribution to malaria severity and death is poorly studied.

Antimalarial Activity of KAF156 in Falciparum and Vivax Malaria.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2016
BACKGROUND KAF156 belongs to a new class of antimalarial agents (imidazolopiperazines), with activity against asexual and sexual blood stages and the preerythrocytic liver stages of malarial parasites.

In Vitro Antiplasmodial Activity and Chemical Composition of Combretum aculeatum, a Medicinal Plant From Niger

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
Workflow of current study. ABSTRACT Malaria remains a significant public health challenge in Niger, accounting for 5.6% of global malaria‐related deaths. Local medicinal plants are frequently used as traditional treatments for malaria, although their efficacy and safety are often insufficiently investigated.
