Abstract
We report a case of falciparum malaria in a 2 years old
boy, from Burkina Faso. The diagnosis was made by anamnesis, clinical
presentation and thin blood smear features. The prevalence of
cloroquine-resistence in Burkina Faso is elevated, thus the therapy
was made with 2 doses of mefloquine, according to the most recent
guidelines.
