Single-dose primaquine policies in Asia, Oceania, and Middle East countries.
Abstract
<p>All countries except for Papua New Guinea and both Koreas (which have no falciparum malaria) have policies to use primaquine as single dose for falciparum malaria. Red indicates unobserved therapy policy, and dark blue directly observed therapy (DOT). Implementation of primaquine policies and exact dose (SLD of 0.25 mg/kg or 0.75 mg/kg) vary between countries. <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0006230#pntd.0006230.t005" target="_blank">Table 5</a> provides details on countries’ policies implementation and/or upcoming modifications.</p- Image
