It can be concluded from the present study that ict malaria pf/pv is an
easy and rapid test, sensitive and specific, does not require
electricity or equipment, required only small amount of unprocessed
blood and which can be for performed in opd, clinics and even at phc
level within 10 minutes. Our results suggest that ict malaria pf/pv for
detecting malaria in blood may prove to be an important tool in the
battle against malaria. further more, α-β arteether is better that
quinine in term of rapid coma resolution, fever clearance, parasite
clearance, well tolerability, more rapid schizonticidal activity than
quinine, simpler to administer, almost equivalent in overall cost to
quinine and also has no side effects.
