Previous studies have shown that a single season of intermittent preventive treatment in schoolchildren (IPTsc) targeting the transmission season has reduced the rates of clinical malaria, all-cause clinic visits, asymptomatic parasitemia, and anemia. Efficacy over the course of multiple years of IPTsc has been scantly investigated.
An open, randomized-controlled trial among schoolchildren aged 6-13 years was conducted from September 2007 to January 2010 in Kolle, Mali. Students were included in three arms: sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine+artesunate (SP+AS), amodiaquine+artesunate (AQ+AS), and control (C). All students received two full doses, given 2 months apart, and were compared with respect to the incidence of clinical malaria, all-cause clinic visits, asymptomatic parasitemia, and anemia.
A total of 296 students were randomized. All-cause clinic visits were in the SP+AS versus control (29 (20.1%) vs. 68 (47.2%); 20 (21.7%) vs. 41 (44.6%); and 14 (21.2%) vs. 30 (44.6%); < 0.02) in 2007, 2008, and 2009, respectively. The prevalence of asymptomatic parasitemia was lower in the SP+AS compared to control (38 (7.5%) vs. 143 (28.7%); and 47 (12.7%) vs. 75 (21.2%); < 0.002) in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Hemoglobin concentration was significantly higher in children receiving SP+AS (11.96, 12.06, and 12.62 g/dL) than in control children (11.60, 11.64, and 12.15 g/dL; < 0.001) in 2007, 2008, and 2009, respectively. No impact on clinical malaria was observed.
IPTsc with SP+AS reduced the rates of all-cause clinic visits and anemia during a three-year implementation.
先前的研究表明,针对传播季节对学童进行单季间歇性预防治疗(IPTsc)可降低临床疟疾、全因门诊就诊、无症状寄生虫血症和贫血的发生率。IPTsc多年来的疗效鲜有研究。
2007年9月至2010年1月在马里的科勒对6至13岁的学童进行了一项开放、随机对照试验。学生被分为三组:周效磺胺-乙胺嘧啶+青蒿琥酯(SP+AS)、阿莫地喹+青蒿琥酯(AQ+AS)和对照组(C)。所有学生均接受两剂全量药物,间隔2个月给药,并比较临床疟疾、全因门诊就诊、无症状寄生虫血症和贫血的发生率。
共296名学生被随机分组。2007年、2008年和2009年,SP+AS组的全因门诊就诊率分别低于对照组(29例(20.1%)对68例(47.2%);20例(21.7%)对(41)例(44.6%);14例(21.2%)对30例(44.6%);(P\lt0.02))。2007年和2008年,SP+AS组无症状寄生虫血症的患病率低于对照组(分别为38例(7.5%)对143例(28.7%);47例(12.7%)对75例(21.2%);(P\lt0.002))。2007年、2008年和2009年,接受SP+AS治疗的儿童血红蛋白浓度显著高于对照组儿童(分别为11.96、12.06和12.62g/dL对11.60、11.64和12.15g/dL;(P\lt0.001))。未观察到对临床疟疾的影响。
在三年的实施过程中,使用SP+AS进行IPTsc降低了全因门诊就诊率和贫血发生率。
