Abstract

The authors report a case of a multi-drug resistant Asiatic P. falciparum strain in a first non-immune man treated out of an endemic zone after failure of chemoprophylaxis by pyrimethamine-sulfadoxine. The authors compare this care with the lately published cases in Germany and Switzerland. They call again that I and II resistances were observed at the time of the drug's trials in and out of endemic zones. They ascertain that this resistances are often associated with chloroquino-resistance and that their number increases chiefly in certain areas.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
