The treatment of severe malaria

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2007
In the SEAQUAMAT trial, parenteral artesunate was shown to be associated with a considerably lower mortality than quinine, and is now the recommended treatment for severe malaria in low-transmission areas and in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. A trial is underway to establish its role in African children.
