Abstract
The importance of drug concentrations, nutritional status and other host factors were explored in uncomplicated falciparum malaria therapy with fixed-dose chloroquine+sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine (CQ+SP). A total of 83 children were treated. Younger children (6-24months) were given half-strength (HS) and older children (2-5years) full-strength (FS) CQ+SP as recommended. The concentrations of CQ and sulfadoxine (S) were determined by HPLC in 100μl of capillary blood on filter paper. Multiple logistic regressions were used to determine associations with outcomes.
