Remember that the patient may be suffering from more than one illness.,Uncomplicated malaria treatment,P. falciparum malaria The treatment of uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria is undertaken after diagnosis of malaria by light microscopy or Dipstick. Patients with positive think-thick blood smears or dipstick for P. falciparum malaria is treated by blisters of Coartem (artemether 20mg/lumefantrine 120mg). See Table 1 for details of prescription.,Table 1 : Dosage and administration Coartem (Artemether 20 mg/Lumefantrine 120 mg) for uncomplicated malaria falciparum,Source: Guideline for the treatment of malaria, WHO; 2006,Coartem Dosage Schedule,Source: WHO, 2007,Important notes (1),1. It is obligatory to give Coartem to patient whose dipstick test or blood slide is positive for P. falciparum and to the patient who has mixed infections P. falciparum and P .vivax. 2. Give the correct dosage of Coartem from the appropriate blister according to the patients weight or age. 3. Children under 5 kg or below 4 months should not be given Coartem instead treat with the following regimen (see table 2).,Table 2. Dosage and administration Plasmodium falciparum for young infant,Source: Malaria in Children, Department of tropical Pediatrics, Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University.,* Preferably Artesunate/Artemether IM on day 1 if available * When Artesunate/Artemether IM is unavailable, give oral Artesunate from day 1 to day 7 * Treat the young infant with Quinine when oral Artesunate is not available,Important notes (2),In case parasitological diagnostic facilities are not available paracetamol could be given to relieve pain and fever and referred to health facilities where parasitological diagnosis will be carried out. Only in exceptional case when there is problem with the referring patient in other health facility coartem could be administered. (The health facility manager should write explanatory note why giving coartem without parasitological diagnosis).,Important notes (3),6. Watch all patients swallowing the first dose of coartem and observe for 1 hour after the intake. In the event of vomiting within one hour of administration, a repeat dose should be taken. 7. Inform patient that, the coartem tablets are in the blister and after breaking should be taken immediately, as after 24 hours coartem tablets exposed to air totally inactivated and can not be used for treatment of malaria. 8. Each blister of coartem has expiry date and should not be used after the expiry date.,Important notes (4),9. For small children, paracetamol and coartem can be crushed, diluted in water and then put either directly into the mouth using a syringe or given with a spoon. 10. Any patient who seeks re-treatment for malaria within 2 weeks of taking full dose of any other antimalarial should be treated with coartem.,Uncomplicated malaria treatment,P. vivax malaria Resistance of P. vivax to chloroquine has not been found in Timor-Leste and Chloroquine is the drug of choice Chloroquine is safe and has few side effects. For the radical treatment of P. vivax in addition to chloroquine, primaquine is recommended 0.5mg/kg per day for 14 days (primaquine should always be taken with food). Chloroquine can be given to pregnant women and children. Primaquine is not recommended for the children under one year and pregnant women. Details of treatment see table 4a.,Table 4a.

Dosage and administration of Chloroquine for malaria vivax in young infant,P. falciparum and P. vivax (mixed infections),The type of malaria where both infections occurs in patient requires treatment by Coartem.,Notes:,Negative dipstick or thin-thick blood smear: If the Pf dipstick is negative and the clinical signs are typical for malaria, treat with Chloroquine (it could be a case of P. vivax infection). If the Pf dipstick is negative and the clinical signs dont suggest malaria, do not treat like malaria; look for another illness. If the blood slide is negative, look for another illness. If symptoms persist, ask for another dipstick or blood slide. If dipstick and/or thin-thick blood smear are not available: If there is no possibility of dipstick or slide results, treat the patient based on the clinical signs and symptoms. Treat as if the patient has P. falciparum.,Follow-up of uncomplicated malaria:,If symptoms persist after treatment with coartem or if the patient comes back before the 14th day after treatment. Treatment failure within 14 days of receiving coartem is extremely rare and is more likely to be an inadequate absorption of the drug(s) than resistance of the parasites. It is important to determine from the patients history whether he or she vomited during the previous treatment or did not complete the full course. If patient is in health facility where microscope is available failure of treatment should be confirmed parasitologically and could be treated using the following regimen:,Follow-up of uncomplicated malaria:,For adult: Quinine (10mg salt /kg bw three times a day) + doxycycline (3.0mg/kg bw once a day) for 7 days.
