E-drug: Re: Malaria Prophylaxis in Pregnancy (1) ---------------------------------------------------------- Don't let her go there! Malaria, and resistant Malaria at that, is already nothing to play with. However in pregnant women it is downright scary (and trust me on this one, I see a lot). But as she is not going to listen :-)-O I'd suggest: Chloroquine and Proguanil with the possible addition of Erythromycin (Doxycycline is contraindicated in pregancy). When she catches Malaria (not if) you airlift her out to the nearest ICU with Swan Ganz and dialysis facilities. el -- Dr. Eberhard W.
