November 1995
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the sensitivity of Zaria strains of Plasmodium falciparum to several antimalarial drugs five years after chloroquine resistance emerged in the area.
- Out of 43 children treated with chloroquine, 83.7% showed sensitivity, but 16.3% were resistant, with similar resistance levels noted in cultured isolates.
- The findings confirmed resistance to chloroquine and sulphadoxine/pyrimethamine while indicating emerging resistance to quinine, suggesting chloroquine remains the first-line treatment and mefloquine should be reserved for severe cases.
