Abstract

An attack of malaria can be lethal; however, besides this classic form, clinical cases are less brutal, often with blood disorders, related to Plasmodium falciparum infection resistant to chloroquine. Because of the importance of chloroquinoresistance through the world, chemoprophylaxis is very difficult, and the fight against mosquitoes' bites is once again very important.
