Abstract
Malaria is Ravaging tropical countries. This disease is the third leading causes of death worldwide with two to three million victims per year Mainly in Africa. Currently, traditional medical knowledge is increasingly used beens Among urban citoyens, Who wears modern medical and pharmaceutical care. This study is an exploratory survey on the use of Alstonia congensis in the treatment of malaria. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of the use of medicinal plants like Alstonia congensis versus a combination of artesunate and amodiaquine (ASAQ), as it is Commonly used at the secondary hospital of Kenge, The sample of this study Was heterogeneous, it Dealt with social Several layers of interviewed: teacher, Peasants and others, people of two, age groups, etc. All subjects selected Were positive for gold RTD test of thick blood. Results show That Alstonia but effective communities is use a decoction of Alstonia skin to Avoid the side effects Observed When Taking ASAQ. A comparison of the two treatments Reveals That 16 squares Were cured in the ASAQ group (40%) versus 32 out of 40 patients (80%) in the group congensis Alstonia. We Concluded That Alstonia contains a real antimalarial activity more than ASAQ. Summary: Malaria ravaging tropical countries. This disease is the third leading cause of global mortality with two to three million victims per year mostly in Africa. Currently, the use of traditional medical knowledge is becoming even greater in urban residents who once resorted to medical care and modern pharmaceuticals.This study is an exploratory survey on the use of Alstonia congensis in the treatment of malaria. The main objective is to compare the efficacy of Alstonia congensis than the combination ASAQ (artesunate + amodiaquine) which is commonly used in high Kenge hospital to see if we need to encourage the use of plant. The sample for this study was heterogeneous, it is composed of several social strata (teachers, farmers and other the person of two of several age brackets etc.). All topics selected were positive TDR or thick blood. The population used the bark decoction of Alstonia to avoid the side effects seen when taking ASAQ and qu’Alstonia is effective. By comparing the two treatments, it was observed 16 cases healed from the group ASAQ, (40%) against 32 of 40 patients in the group of Alstonia congensis (80%). We concluded qu’Alstonia contains a real anti malarial activity more ASAQ.Malaria is, in the last campaign Médecins Sans Frontières a weapon of mass destruction that nobody cares. The figures are frightening fact: we have between 700 million to 800 million malaria-affected people, 300 to 400 million clinical cases each year, and 2 to 3 million deaths annually, the majority are in sub-Saharan Africa. The fight against this disease is complicated by the fact that we recorded an increased resistance of vectors and parasites to molecules currently used Géneviève [1]. The proportion of deaths due to malaria in health facilities in DR Congo is estimated at 32, 5%. Most modern antimalarial drugs used contain harmful side effects and are counterfeit Muamba [2]. Currently, the population of endemic areas of malaria uses the use of herbal remedies in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome. The same is true in traditional Chinese herbal medicines that are commonly used in oriental countries.
