Evidence for the efficacy of artesunate in asymptomatic Plasmodium malariae infections

Steffen Borrmann et al. J Antimicrob Chemother. 2002 Nov.

Abstract

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a 3-day course of artesunate (4 mg/kg/day) for asymptomatic Plasmodium malariae infections. The parasitological cure rates on days 7 and 56 in the group treated with artesunate were 100% and 83%, respectively, compared with no cure in the placebo group (P < 0.0001).
