title: [Chemotherapy and chemoprophylaxis of malaria (author's transl)].
abstract: Chloroquine and amodiaquine are demonstrably still the most reliable drugs for the treatment of malaria, except in the south east Asia area, and in parts of south and central America where an altered sensitivity of falciparum plasmodia has been confirmed. The present position of malaria prophylaxis is, unfortunately, anything but satisfactory. But there are already some good preparations which, if correctly used with consideration of all available information, contribute considerably to the prevention of an infection.
