Abstract：
OBJECTIVES:To assess artemether-lumefantrine effectiveness in the treatment of falciparum malaria in an unsupervised outpatient setting in Africa. DESIGN:Open label prospective study. SETTING:Occupational health clinic, Mozambique. SUBJECTS:Semi-immune Mozambican adults. OUTCOME MEASURES:28-day treatment failures. RESULTS:54/54 subjects were smear negative on day 2, and at 'day 28' (range 26-34 days). CONCLUSIONS:Artemether-lumefantrine is effective in semi-immune adults in an unsupervised outpatient setting in Southern Africa, with no evidence of recrudescence.
