[In vitro susceptibility of P. falciparum isolates from Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) to quinine, artesunate and chloroquine].

Introduction: Malaria is still a major public health problem in Côte d'Ivoire. Both treatment and control there are hampered by the spread of resistance to common antimalarial drugs, especially in the south where multidrug-resistant malaria is highly prevalent. Recent treatment guidelines require in vitro tests and the adaptation of drug policies according to local resistance rates.
