- Abstract
Primaquine, the only widely available treatment to prevent relapsing Plasmodium vivaxmalaria, is produced as 15 mg tablets, and new paediatric formulations are being developed. To inform the optimal primaquine dosing regimen for children, we aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of different primaquine dose strategies in children younger than 15 years.
