"This is the first study from Africa showing that children with malaria and clear signs of severe disease are experiencing at least partial resistance to artemisinin."
"The fact that we started seeing evidence of drug resistance before we even started specifically looking for it is a troubling sign."
"Of the 100 children studied, 11 showed partial resistance to the treatment. All were infected by malaria parasites carrying genetic mutations that have been linked to artemisinin resistance."
"Researchers found that 11 of the 100 children studied showed partial resistance to the drug. Another 10 children suffered a repeat attack."
