Abstract
Relata-se a ocorrência de resistência à mefloquina administrada na dose de 20mg/kg em 51 crianças com malária falciparum atendidas em centro de referência em Manaus, Brasil, no período de outubro a novembro de 1997. Todas as crianças foram avaliadas nos dias 3, 5, 7, 14, 21, 28 e 35 do tratamento, segundo critérios clínico e parasitológico. Foi encontrada uma incidência de resistência RIII de 5,9% (IC 95% variando de 1,5 a 17,2), a razão cura/resistência calculada foi 20:1 e cura/gravidade 62:1. Os dados chamam a atenção para a importância da resistência à mefloquina nesse grupo de crianças.
We report the occurrence of resistance to mefloquine 20mg/day in 51 children with falciparum malaria treated, at reference center of Manaus, Brazil, from October to December 1997. All children were evaluated at day 3, 5, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 of treatment. Clinical and parasitological cure criteria were adopted. The incidence of RIII mefloquine resistance was 5.9% (IC 95% 1.5-17.2). The cure/resistance proportion was 20:1 and cure/severity was 62:1. These findings suggest the importance of mefloquine resistance within this group of children.
