| chloroquine for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria in guyana. | 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), or mixed infections either of p. falciparum and p. vivax (17) or of p. falciparum, p. malariae and p. vivax (two). each received supervised treatment with 10 mg cq base/kg on each of days 0 and 1, and ... | 2002 | 12171615 |
| treatment history and treatment dose are important determinants of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine efficacy in children with uncomplicated malaria in western kenya. | this study retrospectively studied amendable determinants of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (sp) efficacy involving 2869 treatments among 1072 kenyan children <5 years old who had uncomplicated malaria. the dose was based on age: one-quarter tablet was given to infants <1 year old, one-half tablet was given to 1-3-year-old children, and a full tablet was given to 4-year-old children. only 23.5% received the internationally recommended target dose of 25/1.25 mg of sp per kg of body weight. sp intake i ... | 2003 | 12552431 |
| plasmodium malariae in east timor. | a community-based rainy-season malaria prevalence survey was conducted in bobonaro district, in recently independent east timor, in 2001. although the survey was primarily aimed at defining the prevalence of plasmodium falciparum and p. vivax, six individuals with p. malariae infection were identified (prevalence 0.57%). we believe these are the first reported cases of p. malariae from the island of timor. | 2002 | 12757210 |

| studies on malaria and anopheles balabacensis in cambodia. | during the past few years anopheles balabacensis has come to be recognized as a very important human malaria vector in thailand and the indochinese area, but little has been published on its bionomics except from north borneo.studies of the feeding habits of a. balabacensis in cambodia showed it to be predominantly a forest mosquito. it was readily attracted to monkeys in the forest canopy but also readily attacked man on the ground. very few of this species were attracted to domestic animals. m ... | 1964 | 14122444 |

| diagnosis of malaria aided by polymerase chain reaction in two cases with low-level parasitaemia. | light microscopy of thick and thin blood smears is the mainstay of malaria diagnosis. in situations of low-level parasitaemia such as drug-modified disease, however, this may be difficult making clinical management problematic. polymerase chain reaction (pcr) methods have shown high sensitivity for the diagnosis of malaria and are able to differentiate the plasmodium species involved. two cases are presented in the present study, which illustrate how a pcr method can aid light microscopic malari ... | 2003 | 14656238 |

| interference by malaria in the diagnosis of typhoid using widal test alone. | a total of 270 febrile patients (130 males and 140 females) aged between 15 and 59 were screened using thick and thin blood film stains for malaria, bacteriologic culture and widal test for enteric fevers. sixty (22%) were positive for malaria while 38 (14%) were positive for enteric fevers out of which 16 (26.6%) concomitantly had malaria parasite. cases without malaria parasite (mp) or enteric fever organism were 172 (63.7%) and classified as pyrexia of unknown origin (puo). forty-four were st ... | 2003 | 14696952 |
| [epidemiology of malaria in a village of sudanese savannah area in mali (bancoumana). 2. entomo-parasitological and clinical study ]. | we carried out five cross sectional surveys between 1993 and 1994 to assess the epidemiology of malaria in the village of bancoumana, located in the sudanese savannah areas of mali. each survey included a collection of entomological, clinical, parasitological and immunological data. the study population involved 1600 children from six months to 9 years of age. the main vector was anopheles gambiae s.l., man bite rate and entomological inoculation rate were maximum respectively in august (peak of ... | 2003 | 14717049 |
| high prevalence of plamodium malariae infections in a brazilian amazon endemic area (apiacás-mato grosso state) as detected by polymerase chain reaction. | plasmodium malariae is commonly confounded with plasmodium vivax at the microscopic examination of thick blood smear. in the present study, we used a nested pcr assay to amplify a species-specific sequence of the 18s ssu rrna gene of plasmodium in blood samples of 497 individuals living in an endemic region of the brazilian amazon basin. we have found that, while the microscopic examination of thick blood smears showed a p. malariae prevalence of 1.2% (6 out of 497), the nested pcr revealed 11.9 ... | 2004 | 14739024 |
| evaluation of the realart malaria lc real-time pcr assay for malaria diagnosis. | pcr-based methods have advantages over traditional microscopic methods for the diagnosis of malaria, especially in cases of low parasitemia and mixed infections. however, current pcr-based assays are often labor-intensive and not readily quantifiable and have the potential for contamination due to a requirement for postamplification sample handling. real-time pcr can address these limitations. this study evaluated the performance characteristics of a commercial malaria real-time pcr assay (reala ... | 2004 | 14766829 |
