title: [In vitro activity of various antimalarials (chloroquine, amodiaquine, quinine and mefloquine) against 32 isolates of Plasmodium falciparum in French Guiana].
abstract: The in vitro susceptibility of various Plasmodium falciparum isolates obtained from patients infected in French Guiana was tested in a semi-microtest, using four antimalarial drugs. 90.6% of 32 isolates were resistant to chloroquine, 40% to amodiaquine and 17% to quinine. All the 17 isolates were susceptible to mefloquine.
