- W2134261778 abstract "Jan Kolaczinski and colleagues (Feb 1, early online publication)1Kolaczinski J, Graham K, Fahim A, Brooker S, Rowland M. Malaria control in Afghanistan: progress and challenges. Lancet early online publication Feb 1, 2005Google Scholar rightly point out that artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) is the treatment of choice according to 2003 WHO recommendations. However, its use is closely tied with cost and availability issues.2Adjuik M Babiker A Garner P Olliaro P Taylor W White N Artesunate combinations for treatment of malaria: meta-analysis.Lancet. 2004; 363: 9-17Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (416) Google Scholar Locally made artemisinin is only manufactured by a few companies and artesunate is still not available in Pakistan. ACT would prove to be a utopian target for Afghanistan in the current situation. It could probably only be made cost-effective if there were an adequate support system for definitive diagnosis of malaria.3Muheki C McIntyre D Barnes KI Artemisinin-based combination therapy reduces expenditure on malaria treatment in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.Trop Med Int Health. 2004; 9: 959-966Crossref PubMed Scopus (42) Google Scholar Under the present circumstances it is imperative that focus is maintained on simpler and longer lasting measures for malaria control. We believe that a national nutrition programme for children would reduce morbidity and mortality from malaria. It would go a long way towards buttressing their immunity and protecting them from many other ailments besides malaria. Deficiencies in micronutrients such as vitamin A and zinc have been specifically implicated in the increasing burden of malaria in the paediatric age-group.4Caulfield LE Richard SA Black RE Undernutrition as an underlying cause of malaria morbidity and mortality in children less than five years old.Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2004; 71: 55-63PubMed Google Scholar A combined programme on nutrition and malaria incorporated into the primary health-care package would greatly improve Afghanistan's chances of winning this longstanding war against malaria. We declare that we have no conflict of interest." @default.
