The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 06/26/09
Yeka A et al. - Because quinine has limited post-treatment prophylaxis, it will not prevent, in areas of intense transmission, recurrent malaria infections, which can lead to additional morbidity, including anaemia. Therefore, ACTs and not quinine should be used as second-line treatment, because these are well tolerated, highly efficacious, and have the advantage of reducing gametocyte carriage and consequently malaria transmissibility, particularly in areas of less intense transmission.
