Drug resistance in malaria: a review of the west African situation

K O Adubofour. J Natl Med Assoc. 1992 Dec.

Abstract

Chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria is an emerging problem in the West African subregion. While chloroquine remains an effective antimalarial agent in some countries of West Africa, the susceptibility patterns of P falciparum strains need to be assessed periodically. This article reviews the literature on chloroquine-resistant P falciparum malaria.
