Increasing day three parasitaemia is observed after treatment of patients with artemether-lumefantrine and single dose of primaquine for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria... by Bontu Abate, Bokretsion Gidey Brhane, Tsegahun Manyazewal, Hussien Mohammed, Yonas Wuletaw, Moges Kassa, Mesay Hailu, Getachew Tollera, Geremew Tasew, Ashenafi Assefa, Eyasu Makonnen

“…These findings support the ongoing use of AL with a single dose of PQ as the primary treatment option for uncomplicated P. falciparum infections in the study area. In the context of the emergence and spread of partial artemisinin-based combination therapy(ACT) resistance in Africa, regular monitoring of the efficacy of current artemisinin-based combinations is recommended for the early detection of emerging drug resistance in the study setting and beyond.…”
