Selection of parasites with diminished drug susceptibility by amodiaquine-containing antimalarial regimens in Uganda.
(Oxford University Press, 2009-11-04)
Background. Amodiaquine (AQ) is paired with artesunate (AS) or sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) in recommended antimalarial regimens. It is unclear how readily AQ resistance will be selected with combination chemotherapy. ...
Selection of plasmodium falciparum pfmdr1 Alleles following therapy with artemether-lumefantrine in an area of Uganda where malaria is highly endemic
(American Society for Microbiology, 2006-03-08)
Polymorphisms in the Plasmodium falciparum pfmdr1 gene were assayed in pretreatment samples and in samples from patients reinfected following therapy with artemether-lumefantrine. The pfmdr1 alleles 86N,184F, and 1246D ...
Complexity of plasmodium falciparum infections and antimalarial drug efficacy at 7 sites in Uganda.
(University of Chicago Press, 2006-03-13)
Malaria infections in Africa frequently include multiple parasite strains.We examined the relationship between the number of infecting Plasmodium falciparum strains and the responses to 3 different combination therapies ...
Effect of HIV-1 infection on antimalarial treatment outcomes in Uganda: a population-based study.
(University of Chicago Press, 2005-11-18)
Background. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection may increase the burden of malaria by increasing susceptibility to infection or by decreasing the response to antimalarial treatment. We investigated the seroprevalence ...
