Triple artemisinin-containing combination anti-malarial treatments should be implemented now to delay the emergence of resistance: the case against
Abstract
Abstract Managing multidrug resistant malaria can be problematic if currently available artemisinin-containing anti-malarial combination treatments are not used appropriately. Here, I debate that the best way to manage multidrug resistant malaria is to make best use of existing treatments and to develop new classes of anti-malarial drugs and not to make ‘triple combination therapies’ when there is already resistance to one or more proposed components.
