---

Treatment is aimed to cure the patients of their disease, rather than reducing parasite reservoirs. Chloroquine is the standard antimalarial drug for chemoprophylaxis, clinical malaria treatment and radical treatment. While sulfadoxine-pyrimenthamine and quinine are used as alternative antimalarial drugs for radical treatment of falciparum malaria in chloroquine resistant areas. Parenteral quinine is a life-saving antimalarial drug for severe and complicated malaria. Primaquine is a suplement of standard antimalarial drug for radical treatment. supportive therapy is given depending on clinical manifestations of organ dysfunction. Several new antimalarial drugs are mefloquine and artemisinine derivates have been studied.
