Journal ArticleDOI
Chloroquine treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Mali: parasitologic resistance versus therapeutic efficacy.
Christopher V. Plowe,Ogobara K. Doumbo,Abdoulaye Djimde,Kassoum Kayentao,Yacouba Diourte,Safi N. Doumbo,Drissa Coulibaly,Mahamadou A. Thera,Thomas E. Wellems,Dapa A. Diallo +9 more
TL;DR: The new protocol overestimated early treatment failure rates, particularly where resistance was rare, and missed low-level parasitologic resistance, and modifications of the protocol for monitoring antimalarial therapeutic efficacy are recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of Antenatal Clinics to Deliver Intermittent Preventive Treatment and Insecticide Treated Nets for the Control of Malaria in Pregnancy in Mali: A Household Survey
Jenny Hill,Kassoum Kayentao,Mahamoudou B. Touré,Sory Diarwara,Jane Bruce,James Smedley,Ogobara K. Doumbo,Feiko O. ter Kuile,Jayne Webster +8 more
TL;DR: Poor adherence by health workers to provision of IPTp by eligible gestational age and DOT is suggested to be contributing to low effectiveness of this strategy in this setting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Artemisinin-based combinations versus amodiaquine plus sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria in Faladje, Mali
Kassoum Kayentao,Hamma Maiga,Robert D. Newman,Meredith McMorrow,Annett Hoppe,Oumar Yattara,Hamidou Traore,Younoussou Kone,Etienne A. Guirou,Renion Saye,Boubacar Traore,Abdoulaye Djimde,Ogobara K. Doumbo +12 more
TL;DR: The combination of AQ+SP provides a potentially low cost alternative for treatment of uncomplicated P. falciparum infection in Mali and appears to have the added value of longer protective effect against new infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemoglobin S and C Heterozygosity Enhances Neither the Magnitude nor Breadth of Antibody Responses to a Diverse Array of Plasmodium falciparum Antigens
Xiaolin Tan,Boubacar Traore,Kassoum Kayentao,Aissata Ongoiba,Safiatou Doumbo,Michael Waisberg,Ogobara K. Doumbo,Philip L. Felgner,Rick M. Fairhurst,Peter D. Crompton +9 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that HbAS and HbAC protect against malaria by enhancing P. falciparum-specific antibody responses to antigens not studied here or through other immune mechanisms is not supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
A qualitative health systems effectiveness analysis of the prevention of malaria in pregnancy with intermittent preventive treatment and insecticide treated nets in Mali.
Jayne Webster,Kassoum Kayentao,Samba Diarra,Sory I. Diawara,Alhassane Ag Haiballa,Ogobara K. Doumbo,Jenny Hill +6 more
TL;DR: In this setting, intervention-specific factors resulted in the ineffective delivery of IPTp-SP related to complex policy guidelines, lack of guidance on how to implement the guidelines, and the institutionalising of practices that undermine the national guidelines.
