According to the species determined
Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma’am,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but the exact species of malaria causing the infection needs to be determined.. However, the usual treatment for the species present in South XXXXXXX include artemether-lumefantrine which is recommended for first-line therapy for uncomplicated cases. Alternatively oral quinine plus either doxycycline or clindamycin can be used if artemether-lumefantrine is unavailable or contraindicated. In cases of resistant species then the use of both chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine is recommended..
I hope you find this helpful. if you don’t have any other clarifications then please close the discussion..
