Sixty-seven and 62 children, respectively, completed the treatment and were

The efficacy of chloroquine and pyrimethamine as malaria chemoprophylactics was investigated in young Nigerian children. Chloroquine resistance had not been documented in the study area; pyrimethamine resistance was probably present but uncommon. Children who received weekly chemoprophylaxis with
Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is common in Ethiopia and invariably affects the liver. Treatment by abstension from alcohol and avoidance of direct sunlight often failed to achieve lasting improvement. Phlebotomy is unacceptable to most of our patients and impractical as a routine therapy.
The efficacy and kinetics of the combination chloroquine plus sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (CQ + SP), given sequentially and simultaneously, were investigated in 32 patients with acute uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Palawan Island, the Philippines.

A comparative trial was carried out in northern Nigeria of the ability of the drug combinations chloroquine-pyrimethamine and sulfalene-pyrimethamine to clear the peripheral blood stream of asexual forms of P. falciparum within 7 days. The reappearance of asexual P. falciparum forms within the
A total of 99 male Zambian patients with symptomatic falciparum malaria were treated in a double-blind randomized manner with either mefloquine (1000 mg given in one day) or chloroquine (1500 mg given over 3 days). An S-type response was seen in all the chloroquine patients and 98% of the mefloquine
A randomized double blind study in long term malaria chemoprophylaxis was performed to compare the tolerability of Fansimef (1 tablet containing 250 mg mefloquine + 500 mg sulfadoxine + 25 mg pyrimethamine per week) with chloroquine (300 mg per week). 211 Austrian industrial workers and their
Chloroquine represents at least a basic prototype antimalarial drug, widely applied in several branches of medicine and also recently against a new zoonotic origin coronavirus. At present, there is little awareness of chloroquine's psychiatric side effects, which appear to be overlooked by the
