Combined Chloroquine/Fansidar®-Resistant Falciparum Malaria Appears in East Africa
The first two cases from East Africa of RII chloroquine- and Fansidar®-resistant falciparum malaria are described. The first case occurred in a non-immune Swedish expatriate 2 weeks after arrival in Tanzania, and the second in a semi-immune Tanzanian soldier. Fansidar has not yet been marketed in Tanzania. The significance and etiology of the occurrence of combined chloroquine/Fansidar resistance in East Africa are discussed.
