Clinical-parasitological response to treatment with quinine associated to doxycycline in uncomplicated falciparum malaria

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

The response of patients with uncomplicated falciparum malaria to quinine plus doxycycline was studied in an open clinical trial. The majority (76.2%; n = 16) had plasmodia sensitive to the treatment and 23.8% (n = 5) were resistant. This therapeutic scheme appears to be a good option in uncomplicated falciparum malaria.
