Treatment changed after drug-resistant malaria found in Isan
The Public Health Ministry has changed the medications used to treat malaria in two northeastern border provinces where cases of drug-resistance have been reported.
Assadang Ruay-achin, spokesman for the disease control department, said on Wednesday that infection with the mosquito-born malaria parasite was normally treated with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine and primaquine.
