Increasing Malaria Parasite Clearance Time after Chloroquine Therapy, South Korea, 2000-2016

We reviewed the clinical efficacy of chloroquine for Plasmodium vivax malaria, the changing trend of parasite clearance time, and fever clearance time during 2000-2016 in South Korea. Median parasite clearance time and fever clearance time increased significantly over the study period. Chloroquine w...

Zusammenfassung:We reviewed the clinical efficacy of chloroquine for Plasmodium vivax malaria, the changing trend of parasite clearance time, and fever clearance time during 2000-2016 in South Korea. Median parasite clearance time and fever clearance time increased significantly over the study period. Chloroquine was mostly underdosed when used to treat P. vivax malaria.
