Abstract

The study on therapeutic efficacy of chloroquine was carried out in a tribal dominated block of Kalahandi district of Orissa, India. It revealed 94% treatment failure with standard dose of chloroquine in the treatment of uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria cases. The study warrants the change to alternate antimalarials in this region.
