[Assessment of a chloroquine-spiramycin combination in the treatment of malaria in an area of moderate resistance].
The authors treated two groups of children in Zaire with two different regimens: chloroquine vs chloroquine-spiramycin. Chloroquine alone was successful in 83% of cases and chloroquine-spiramycin in 95% of cases (statistically significant). The tolerance of both regimens was excellent.
