RESUMO

Between January and April 1994, 116 people were interviewed in a pilot study to determine the feasibility a study on knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and practices [KABP] of the population in Kuwait about AIDS. A specifically designed questionnaire, based on the WHO AIDS programme KABP survey in 1988, was modified to suit Kuwaiti culture and norms. It was pretested on a sample of five categories of participant. Such studies can serve as baseline data for evolving strategies for AIDS awareness, prevention and control

RESUMO

Primaquine is the only drug currently in use to eliminate the gametocytes of Plasmodium Vivax [PV] and also, destroys hypnozoites [latent liver stages] of PV and Plasmodium ovale [PO] and thereby effects a radical cure. The usual dose for antirelapse therapy for PO infection is 15 mg base daily for 14 days or once weekly for 8 weeks. Radical cure of PV in some parts of South-East Asia and Oceania requires higher total doses of primaquine [15-22.5 mg base daily for 14 days or once weekly for 8 weeks]. In Kuwait, 30 mg of primaquine is given weekly for 8 weeks as a radical cure according to WHO recommendations. In this paper, we report a case of a patient in whom, hypnozoites were resistant to primaquine at 45 mg weekly, for 8 weeks
