Journal ArticleDOI

Artemether-lumefantrine treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria: a systematic review and meta-analysis of day 7 lumefantrine concentrations and therapeutic response using individual patient data

Elizabeth A. Ashley, +51 more
- 18 Sep 2015 - 
TL;DR: Higher, more frequent, or prolonged dosage regimens should now be evaluated in very young children, particularly if malnourished, and in patients with hyperparasitemia, as well as patients in very low transmission intensity areas with emerging parasite resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of dose on the antimalarial efficacy of artemether-lumefantrine: a systematic review and pooled analysis of individual patient data.

Nicholas M. Anstey, +133 more
TL;DR: The recommended dose of artemether-lumefantrine provides reliable efficacy in most patients with uncomplicated malaria, however, therapeutic efficacy was lowest in young children from Asia and young underweight children from Africa; a higher dose regimen should be assessed in these groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

PfHRP2 and PfLDH antigen detection for monitoring the efficacy of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) in the treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria

TL;DR: Although both RDTs are as sensitive as microscopy in detecting true malaria cases, the Pf HRP2 RDT had very low specificity during follow-up until day 28, while the Pf LDH test could be used to detect failures and, therefore, to assess anti-malarial efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The management of leptospirosis

TL;DR: Adjunctive therapies proposed in the management of severe forms of leptospirosis and Jarisch–Herxheimer reactions, are reviewed.
