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

Single-Day, Patient-Initiated Famciclovir Therapy for Recurrent Genital Herpes: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

TL;DR: A single-day regimen of patient-initiated famciclovir treatment was well tolerated and safe, and the healing of recurrent genital herpes lesions occurred approximately 2 days faster than with placebo, adding to the potential for improving patient compliance and satisfaction with therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

A controlled, parallel, cluster-randomized trial of community-wide screening and treatment of asymptomatic carriers of Plasmodium falciparum in Burkina Faso.

TL;DR: Systematic screening and treatment of asymptomatic carriers at the community level did not reduce clinical malaria incidence in the subsequent transmission season, indicating greater levels of parasite clearance are required to achieve a sustained impact in this setting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 in Semen: Effects of Disease Stage and Nucleoside Therapy

TL;DR: The effects of clinical stage of infection and antiviral therapy on the detection of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) nucleic acids in semen were investigated by the polymerase chain reaction and HIV-1 detected in 45 of 52 semen specimens was detected.
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.
