  abstract = {{I}ntermittent preventive treatment is the prescheduled administration of antimalarial drugs to at-risk patients in endemic areas. {T}his approach, which is recommended for pregnant women, is being evaluated in children. {S}ulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine recently proved to be more protective than artemisinin-containing regimens. {T}herefore, the use of artemisinin derivatives could potentially be restricted to symptomatic patients. {D}eterminants of three pending issues: safety, efficacy throughout childhood, and effectiveness - the latter depending on the implementation of sustainable delivery mechanisms - are analyzed in this comment.},
