Editor’s summary
A comparative study of the efficacy and tolerability of two artemisinin combination therapies which are very useful for treatment of P. falciparum malaria multidrug-resistant in Asia. These two ACTs are, currently, the best treatment for non-severe falciparum malaria and this trial provides base-line data for future longitudinal surveillance of efficacy.
