简要总结

One hundred twenty-three patients (63 from Laghman and 60 from Nangarhar) infected with P. falciparum were treated with artesunate+sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine (ASSP), and 120 patients with P. vivax (60 from Laghman and 60 from Nangarhar) were treated with chloroquine (CQ). The data from Nangarhar, for both the ASSP and CQ groups, were invalidated during blood sample quality control. Of the 60 patients treated with artesunate+sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine in Laghman, 57 met the study endpoints, and all had achieved adequate clinical and parasitological response. Similarly, all P. vivax patients treated with CQ achieved adequate clinical and parasitological response. No adverse events were recorded. No mutations for artemisinin, piperaquine, or mefloquine resistance were detected in samples form the patients with P. falciparum.
