Chloroquine-resistant malaria. A case report.
Chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria contracted in Mozambique by a patient taking correct prophylaxis is reported. The fact that misdiagnosis of malaria still occurs, the need to have intravenous quinine readily available country-wide, and the fact that a P. falciparum strain resistant to chloroquine is present across our border are stressed.
