Article Synopsis
- Chloroquine (CQ) is no longer effective for treating P. falciparum due to widespread resistance, prompting a shift in drug policies, which was analyzed in malaria-endemic regions of West Bengal, India.
- In a study involving 781 P. falciparum patients from 2008 to 2013, chloroquine resistance was linked to specific genetic markers, with high rates of treatment failure and recrudescence reported.
- Over the years, in vitro resistance rates rose significantly, necessitating increased research and containment efforts to address the persistent problem of chloroquine resistance even after its withdrawal as a treatment option.
