The present paper describes the relationship of Mean Parasite Clearance Time (MPCT) and Mean Parasite Recrudescence Time (MPRT) in the epidemiology of Plasmodium falciparum. The role of MPCT in grading the resistance of an area has been discussed. Further, MPRT revealed a positive correlationship with the percentage of RI resistant cases, and showed an increase with age. The ratio of MPRT/MPCT is an indicator of stability status of the resistance.
本文描述了恶性疟原虫流行病学中平均寄生虫清除时间(MPCT)与平均寄生虫复发时间(MPRT)之间的关系。讨论了MPCT在评估一个地区抗药性方面的作用。此外,MPRT与RI抗性病例的百分比呈正相关,并随年龄增长而增加。MPRT/MPCT的比值是抗性稳定状态的一个指标。
