Chloroquine resistant vivax malaria in a pregnant woman on the western border of Thailand

Abstract
Chloroquine (CQ) resistant vivax malaria is spreading. In this case, Plasmodium
vivax infections during pregnancy and in the postpartum period were not
satisfactorily cleared by CQ, despite adequate drug concentrations. A growth
restricted infant was delivered. Poor susceptibility to CQ was confirmed in-vitro
and molecular genotyping was strongly suggestive of true recrudescence of P.
vivax. This is the first clinically and laboratory confirmed case of two
high-grade CQ resistant vivax parasite strains from Thailand.
