Abstract excerpt

Vivax malaria is widespread and resistance has been described for chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine. We report on evidence of failure of mefloquine prophylaxis in a French soldier who contracted Plasmodium vivax in French Guyana, South America. Despite regular weekly mefloquine prophylaxis (250 mg/d), the patient presented with a first episode of vivax malaria, which was treated by chloroquine alone, then...
