A fluorometric sensitivity test for chloroquine in Plasmodium falciparum isolates from patients.
A new technique for assessment of in vitro growth of Plasmodium falciparum by fluoroassay was used to determine the sensitivity to chloroquine of parasites from cases of malaria imported into Japan. The technique was reliable, giving comparable results to the Rieckmann test, and is also applicable in the field.
