[Plasmodium falciparum malaria acquired in Kenya with type II or type III resistance to amino-4-quinolines]. / Paludisme à Plasmodium falciparum contracté au Kénya, avec résistance de type secondaire ou tertiaire aux amino-4-quinoléines.

The authors report a case of Plasmodium falciparum malaria acquired in Kenya by a French tourist under correct chloroquine prophylaxis. She recovered under quinine and a sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine association. This is a new case of high level resistance (R II or R III) of Plasmodium falciparum to amino-4-quinolines recognized in East Africa. Malarial chemoprophylaxis recommended until now for this area may need to be reviewed.
