To evaluate the in vivo therapeutic efficacy of chloroquine (CQ), sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) and mefloquine (MQ) in children presenting with uncomplicated malaria in Benin.
Drug efficacy was tested according to the WHO in vivo 28-day protocol. For failures that occurred after 7 days of follow-up, paired pre- and post-treatment blood samples were genotyped at msp1 and msp2 loci to distinguish new infections and recrudescent strains. Children enrolled were randomly assigned to a therapeutic group (CQ, n=14; SP, n=42; MQ, n=44). The number of CQ treatment was intentionally restricted after 1 month, as its use was considered to constitute a danger for children.
Chloroquine and SP showed very high failure rates (85.7% and 50%, respectively), whereas MQ treatment was successful in 97.5%. The molecular tool allowed to re-evaluate two new infections previously considered as failures.
Chloroquine should no longer be used to treat children presenting with Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Benin.
评估氯喹(CQ)、磺胺多辛-乙胺嘧啶(SP)和甲氟喹(MQ)对贝宁单纯性疟疾患儿的体内治疗效果。
根据世界卫生组织的体内28天方案测试药物疗效。对于随访7天后出现的治疗失败情况,对配对的治疗前和治疗后血样在msp1和msp2基因座进行基因分型,以区分新感染和复发菌株。纳入的儿童被随机分配到治疗组(CQ组,n = 14;SP组,n = 42;MQ组,n = 44)。1个月后有意限制了CQ的治疗例数,因为其使用被认为对儿童构成危险。
氯喹和SP显示出非常高的失败率(分别为85.7%和50%),而MQ治疗的成功率为97.5%。该分子工具能够重新评估两个先前被视为治疗失败的新感染病例。
在贝宁,氯喹不应再用于治疗患恶性疟原虫疟疾的儿童。
