Abstract

Multidrug resistance has rendered monotherapy for malaria useless in most parts of the world, and has also compromised the usefulness of many of the available combination chemotherapies. New antimalarial regimens are, therefore, urgently needed. We review the various antimalarial combinations that can be used to treat otherwise drug-resistant disease, and discuss what defines an ideal antimalarial combination regimen.
