E-drug: Malaria treatment (cont)
---------------------------------------------
Why would one use combination therapy in adults and monotherapy in
children - surely the same logic must apply regardless of the patient's age?
Compliance with a long course of artemisinin suppositories, required if
monotherapy is to be successful, is improbable.
