Abstract excerpt

Panama is the first country in the Central American region that has officially discarded chloroquine as a first-line drug to treat Plasmodium falciparum cases. Here we describe the clinical and molecular findings from autochthonous P. falciparum fatal cases, and the epidemiological situation that led to a change in the national antimalarial drug policy. Our results illustrate the potential pathogenicity of the...
