Comparison of capillary whole blood, venous whole blood, and plasma concentrations of mefloquine, halofantrine, and desbutyl-halofantrine measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. by Ter Kuile, F, Teja-Isavatharm, P, Edstein, MD, Keeratithakul, D, Dolan, G, Nosten, F, Phaipun, L, Webster, H, White, N

“…Whole blood mefloquine, halofantrine, and desbutyl-halofantrine concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography in capillary blood, venous blood, and venous plasma samples from patients along the Thai/Burmese border with falciparum malaria who were treated with either mefloquine (25 mg/kg) or halofantrine (24 mg/kg or 72 mg/kg). …”
