This book presents an innovative assessment in the current and
newer treatments of malaria therapy. Recently, a new class of
antimalarial compounds has come to light which may assist in
winning the battle with this ancient scourge. The artemisinins are
antimalarials derived from the Chinese herb, Artemisia Annua. These
compounds clear the parasites from the blood more rapidly than
other antimalarial agents and have recently been recommended by the
World Health Organisation as first line therapy in the fight
against this age old killer. Intravenous formulations of
artemisinins have been used in much of the world and represent an
improvement in efficacy and safety for severe malaria. Much of this
research data is used for the first time from databases at the
Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. The comprehensive summary,
accumulated wealth data, understanding views, and summaries will
raise this book head and shoulders above any other of its type.
