Abstract excerpt
The genetic polymorphisms of the candidate markers of antimalarial drug resistance pfcrt, pfmdr1, pfatp6, and pfmrp1 were investigated in relationship with in vitro susceptibility of Plasmodium falciparum isolates and clinical response following artesunate (AS)-mefloquine (MQ) combination in 21 and 27 samples obtained from patients with recrudescence and adequate clinical response, respectively. MQ (21.0 vs....
