Population Pharmacokinetic Estimates Suggest Elevated Clearance and Distribution Volume of Desethylamodiaquine in Pediatric Patients with Sickle Cell Disease Treated with Artesunate-Amodiaquine
Background: There is limited information on the safety or efficacy of currently recommended antimalarial drugs in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), a population predisposed to worse outcomes if affected by acute malaria.
