Fresh hopes for treatment of malaria in Africa

ent with pyrimethamine-sulfadoxine resulted in only 39% of children being rid of malaria, whereas 93% of those treated with the new treatment (chlorproguanil-dapsone) were cleared of parasites.

The urgency of Mutabingwa and colleagues research is underlined by their comments that, work on a combination of chlorproguanil-dapsone with artesumate is at an early stage of development. Drug development to international regulatory standards takes time, but Africa is in desperate need of an effective and affordable alternative to pyrimethamine-sulfadoxine.
