ABSTRACT
Two clinical trials of the phenanthrene treatment of Plasmodium falciparum were conducted in Malawi; in areas where the parasite was known to be chloroquine resistant. Of 49 children followed up for 14 days; 47 became aparasitaemic -ie; the cure rate was 96 percent. In both trials the drug was very well tolerated. Halofantrine hydrochloride seems to be effective against P. falciparum chloroquine sensitive and resistant strains in Africa
