Pyrimethamine-resistant <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> parasites among Tanzanian children: a facility-based study using the polymerase chain reaction (Publications)
of the 21 children with clinical malaria had pyrimethamine-resistant parasites. Currently, sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine is considered a potential first-line drug for malaria treatment in most African countries [...] used to estimate the proportion of pyrimethamine-resistant parasites in 101 children reporting with malaria at the hospital in Ifakara, a town in southern Tanzania.
