The mean age of two groups were 25.82 years and 25.37 years respectively. The initial parasite counts were 13736 and 16879 per microlitre respectively. All patients cleared the parasites initially in both groups. However, 12 patients (40 percent) recrudesced as RI cases in Artemether single drug regimen and thus cure rate was 60 percent. In combination drug regimen group 2 patients (5. 71 percent) recrudesced and cure rate was 94.29 percent. The parasite clearance time (PCT), fever clearance time (FCT) and 50 percent reduction time were compared in both groups and the results were 44.85*** 19.01 hours, 26.56*** 14.14 hours, 40.25*** 16.76 hours, 23.77*** 18.69 hours and 14.28*** 10.11 hours, 12.94*** 6.86 hours respectively. Significant side effects were not noted among patients in both groups. This study showed that Artemether capsule and Mefloquine combination drug regimen has higher efficacy interms of PCT, FCT and 50 percent reduction time than Artemether capsule single drug regimen for patients with acute uncomplicated falciparum malaria in Myanmar.Item The Effect of oral artesunate lactab (Total 60 mg) in combination with mefloquine 500 mg on plasmodium, falciparum malaria patients(1995-01-01) Ye Thwe; Yin Yin Tun; Kyaw Soe Tin; Tin Maung Hlaing; Hla Yee; Khin TintItem Efficacy of oral artemesinine (Artemesinin lactab) as a single agent in combination with mefloquine in uncomplicated falciparum malaria at No (2) Military Hospital (500 bedded)(1995-01-01) Ye Thwe; Yin Yin Tun; Kyaw Soe Tun; Htet Htet Nyunt; Hla Yee; Sithu Aung; Khin Ni; Tin Maung Hlaing
