Abstract
Background: Drug resistance remains a major challenge for the management of malaria. This study investigated the efficacy of antimalarial combination artemether-lumefantrine (AL) in the treatment of uncomplicated malaria in Bangui, Central African Republic. Materials and methods: An evaluative cross-sectional study was conducted between the 15th February and the 7th March 2017 in the Complexe Pédiatrique in Bangui among children aged 6 months to 15 years. Clinical outcome was classified according to WHO criteria as adequate clinical and parasitological response (ACPR), late parasitologic failure (LPF), late clinical failure (LCF), and early treatment failure (ETF). The occurrence of mutations in the K 13 gene was studied by PCR-RFLP.Entities:
