TREATMENT OF MALARIA IN CHILDREN WITH CHLOROQUINE

THOMAS L. NELSON M.D.1 and GERALD J. CONLIN M.C., U.S.A.1

1 The Pediatric Section, Gorgas Hospital, Ancon, Canal Zone.

Forty-nine children with 54 episodes of malaria were treated with chloroquine with four known relapses and one suspected treatment failure.

A dosage scale for children is offered (Table I).

Only minor toxic effects of chloroquine were observed.

Chloroquine did not prevent the presence of the gametocytes of Plasmodium falciparum in peripheral blood.

Nine cases severely ill with malaria responded well to this treatment.
