An open randomized trial of artemether versus quinine in the treatment of cerebral malaria in African children.

An open randomized trial of artemether versus quinine in the treatment of cerebral malaria in African children.

We have compared the efficacy of artemether versus quinine as treatment for cerebral malaria in children in an open randomized clinical trial in Kenya. Children admitted to hospital with coma and Plasmodium falciparum parasitaemia were treated with either intramuscular artemether (3.2 mg/kg loading...
