15/11/2010 Journal article Antimicrobial agents and chemotherapy: Limited ability of Plasmodium falciparum Pfcrt, Pfmdr1, and Pfnhe1 polymorphisms to predict quinine in vitro sensitivity or clinical effectiveness in Uganda Abstract Quinine is a standard drug for treating severe malaria in Africa, and it is also increasingly used to treat uncomplicated disease. However, failures of quinine therapy are common, and it… 15/11/2010 Abstract Quinine is a standard drug for treating severe malaria in Africa, and it is also increasingly used to treat uncomplicated disease. However, failures of quinine therapy are common, and it is unknown if failures in Africa are due to drug…
13/07/2010 Journal article Community acceptability of use of rapid diagnostic tests for malaria by community health workers in Uganda Abstract Many malarious countries plan to introduce artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) at community level using community health workers (CHWs) for treatment of uncomplicated malaria. Use of ACT with reliance on presumptive… 13/07/2010 Abstract Many malarious countries plan to introduce artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) at community level using community health workers (CHWs) for treatment of uncomplicated malaria. Use of ACT with reliance on presumptive diagnosis may lead to excessive use, increased costs and rise…
