Richard W. Steketee,Jack J. Wirima,Laurence Slutsker,Jacqueline M. Roberts,Charles O. Khoromana,David L Heymann,Joel G. Breman +6 more
TL;DR: Using an ineffective intervention (CQ in a setting with CQ-resistant parasites) was the most important determinant of P. falciparum parasitemia in pregnant women in rural Malawian pregnant women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Malaria Treatment and Prevention in Pregnancy: Indications for Use and Adverse Events Associated With Use of Chloroquine or Mefloquine
Richard W. Steketee,Jack J. Wirima,Laurence Slutsker,Charles O. Khoromana,David L Heymann,Joel G. Breman +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated reported fever, determined parasitemia, and placed the women on antimalarial regimens containing chloroquine (CQ) or mefloquine(MQ).
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo efficacy of chloroquine treatment for Plasmodium falciparum in Malawian children under five years of age.
TL;DR: Considering these therapeutic results and the higher cost and limited availability of alternative therapies, chloroquine 25 mg/kg therapy was adopted as the primary therapy for malaria in Malawi.
Journal Article
Mefloquine therapy for Plasmodium falciparum malaria in children under 5 years of age in Malawi: in vivo/in vitro efficacy and correlation of drug concentration with parasitological outcome.
Laurence Slutsker,Charles O. Khoromana,D. Payne,C. R. Allen,Jack J. Wirima,David L Heymann,L. Patchen,Richard W. Steketee +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that mefloquine is effective against P. falciparum in Malawi but that for young children the therapy appears to be complicated by frequent vomiting.
Journal ArticleDOI

David L Heymann,Richard W. Steketee,Jack J. Wirima,Deborah A. McFarland,Charles O. Khoromana,Carlos C. Campbell +5 more
TL;DR: The roles of Plasmodium falciparum resistance to chloroquine and compliance in the protective efficacy of the antenatal chloroquines prophylaxis programme in Malawi were evaluated and research is required to define more cost-effective interventions.
