A comparative study in vivo of amodiaquine efficacy (35 mg/kg over 3 d) and chloroquine (25 mg/kg over 3 d) was conducted in 1991 and 1992 in Cameroon and Congo in 123 patients with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Amodiaquine was more effective than chloroquine, with parasite clearance
OBJECTIVE
The present in vivo study evaluates the efficacy of sulphadoxine/pyrimethamine, doxycycline and their combination in the treatment of Sudanese patients infected by chloroquine resistant falciparum malaria.
METHODS
Febrile patients with positive blood smears of Plasmodium falciparum were
At a public hospital in Georgetown, Guyana, 44 patients seeking treatment for symptomatic, slide-confirmed malaria were given standard chloroquine (CQ) therapy and followed for 28 days. The patients apparently had pure infections with Plasmodium falciparum (14), P. vivax (13) or P. malariae (one),
BACKGROUND
The present study was conducted to study the efficacy and toxicity profile of methotrexate chloroquine combination in treatment of active rheumatoid arthritis.
METHODS
24 patients of rheumatoid arthritis confirming to revised American Rheumatism Association (ARA) criteria were studied
Background: Malaria remains the top infectious disease threat facing the U.S. military in many forward operating environments. Compliance with malaria chemoprophylaxis remains a critical component in preventing malaria in the deployed
Falciparum Malaria is hyperendemic in southern Nigeria and chloroquine resistance is an increasing problem. Therefore, the parasitological and haematological response to treatment with amodiaquine was studied in children under 5 years during a 14-day follow-up. Of 105 children who accomplished the
The standard first-line treatment for malaria in adults in Papua New Guinea is chloroquine; for severe and treatment-failure malaria standard therapy is a combination of quinine and Fansidar (sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine). These standard treatments are currently under revision. The present study
Chloroquine (CQ), a bitter tasting drug widely used in treatment of malaria, is associated gastrointestinal side effects including nausea or diarrhea. In the present study, we investigated the effect of CQ on electrolyte transport in rat ileum using the Ussing chamber technique. The results showed
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. Group 1 with 11 patients received oral
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
The combined treatment with phlebotomy and high-dose chloroquine for PCT is described and 21 patients treated were followed up for periods of up to 6 years. Clinical and laboratory remissions were experienced by all patients. The urinary excretion of porphyrin and serum hepatic enzyme levels rose
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
The resistance of Plasmodium falciparum to the chloroquine-proguanil association (C/P) as antimalarial chemoprophylaxis is becoming increasingly common in Africa. Daily oral doxycycline hyclate 100 mg is effective as malaria prophylaxis. But the hyclate salt's adverse effects combined with the
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
