Summary
Resistance of Plasmodium falciparum toward Artemisinins, the most important drug for the successful treatment of malaria, has been confirmed in Cambodia. There are few reports from neighbouring countries about delayed parasite rates. The investigators therefore aim to assess parasite clearance in malaria patients in central Vietnam when treated according to national standard guidelines.
