TY - JOUR AU - Neuberger, Ami AU - Zhong, Kathleen AU - Kain, Kevin C AU - Schwartz, Eli T1 - Lack of Evidence for Chloroquine-Resistant Plasmodium falciparum Malaria, Leogane, Haiti T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2012 VL - 18 IS - 9 SP - 1487 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Haiti is considered chloroquine susceptible, although resistance transporter alleles associated with chloroquine resistance were recently detected. Among 49 patients with falciparum malaria, we found neither parasites carrying haplotypes associated with chloroquine resistance nor instances of chloroquine treatment failure. Continued vigilance to detect emergence of chloroquine resistance is needed.
