Seven of the patients who vomited, four who had 4-aminoquinolines in their blood, and five dropouts were excluded. Fever and parasitaemia were suppressed within four days until day fourteen in 29 of the 31 remaining patients, including 10 with P. falciparum strains that had a low sensitivity to mefloquine. Two failures were due to poor absorption of mefloquine. The presence of P. falciparum strains with low in vitro susceptibility to mefloquine did not affect, within 14 days, the clinical and parasitological efficacy of a single oral dose mefloquine regimen in patients who had received no previous antimalarial treatment and who did not have partial immune protection. specialized PALUDISME TRAITEMENT MEDICAL EFFICACITE SENSIBILITE RESISTANCE AGENT PATHOGENE ZONE PERIURBAINE EVALUATION IN VIVO MEFLOQUINE CHLOROQUINE HALOFANTRINE SENEGAL DAKAR 052ANOPAL04 70 3 363-367 1992 0043-9686 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:35969 0043-9686 [F B35969] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:35969 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/pleins_textes_5/b_fdi_31-32/35969.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 1992-10-09 2025-05-22 fdi:35969 fre
