Text: Parasites collected from patients treated with AQ-SP or AS-AQ within the prior 12 weeks were less susceptible to MDAQ (n = 18 ; mean of the median inhibitory concentration [IC (50)], 62. 9 nmol/L ; range, 12. 7-158. 3 nmol/L) than were parasites from those not treated within 12 weeks (n = 43 ; mean IC (50), 37. 5 nmol/L ; range, 6. 3-184. 7 nmol/L ; P =. 009) or only from those patients in the treatment arm that did not receive AQ (n = 12 ; mean IC (50), 28. 8 nmol/L ; range, 6. 3-121. 8 nmol/L ; P =. 004).
