A new drug combination therapy may
help treat malaria in children, a new
study has found.
Artemisinin-naphthoquine drug-combo
should be considered for the treatment
of children with uncomplicated malaria
in settings where multiple parasite
species cause malaria, according to Tim
Davis from the University of Western
Australia.

Malaria is a mosquito-borne parasitic
disease that kills approximately 600,000
people every year. Several different
parasite species cause malaria and in
some settings, such as Papua New
Guinea, two species, Plasmodium
falciparum and Plasmodium vivax, are
responsible for majority of malaria
infections. However, the two species
respond differently to currently
available anti-malarial drugs.

The study compared the
current recommended
therapy for uncomplicated
malaria in children in Papua
New Guinea, artemether-
lumefantrine, with a different
combination therapy ,
artemisinin-naphthoquine
and found that it was more
effective than the former for
treating Plasmodium vivax.
