Abstract

Three cases of multiple drug resistant falciparum malaria in the same family are described. It is interesting to note that faIciparum malaria resistant to Fansidar has not as yet been reported in adults from West Malaysia up to the present time, although resistance to the drug in children is being encountered not infrequently. This presents a serious paediatric problem because malaria causes the highest incidence of mortality and morbidity in this age group in a proportion of the rural population.
