Artesunate Resistant Plasmodium Falciparum
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. WHO recommends artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria caused by P. falciparum. ACTs have been integral to the remarkable recent successes in global malaria control. However, P. falciparum resistance is now emerging to artemisinin having detected in five countries of the Greater Mekong Subregion: Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Viet Nam. In India, it is also reported artesunate resistant Plasmodium falciparuum. We described a 22year male patient admitted with cerebral malaria caused by p. falciparum and found artisunate resistance case.
