摘要: We describe here a clinical failure in the treatment with mefloquine of acute falciparum malaria contracted Africa and associated vitro resistance pfmdr1 copy number amplification. This case raises question presence evolution this genotype Africa, which is also known to alter susceptibility artemisinin combination therapy (ACT).
