Re: Malaria Prophylaxis during pregnancyFrom: Eberhard Lisse (el@ac.lisse.na)Fri Mar 22 07:44:58 2002
Hi Riaan, long time no see :-)-O In message <000e01c1d16d$475e7e20$0200a8c0@riaan>, "Dr Riaan van der Colf" writ es:
> I agree - however, Mefloquine is for prohylaxis, NOT treatment. I personally don't like it at all. I have seen too many patients getting really bad psychoctic episodes, spoiling their whole vacation. And there is cross resistance with chlroquine if I am not mistaken. Which is what I mean with not for prophylaxis. The current advice from many tropical institutes in Europe to tourists into endemic areas is to have a pack of Mefloquine in the bag for the case of suspected Malaria where there is no experienced help. Which is what I mean for treatment. Obviously a pregnant patient will be hospitalited and treated with Quinine. And perhaps Erythromycin. el

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
