Tóm tắt:

Malaria, mainly caused by Plasmodium falciparum, is a major global health concern. In Vietnam, resistance to artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) is rising, jeopardizing malaria control efforts. This study focuses on mutations in the pfK13 and pfEXO genes, particularly the E415G mutation, in Southern Vietnam. The study involved 421 patients across two cohorts. The first, with 63 patients from Binh Phuoc and Dak Nong, had uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria and were part of the Therapeutic Efficacy Studies (TES), treated according to WHO guidelines (2009). The second cohort, comprising 358 patients from the Central Highlands, aimed to assess mutation frequency in genes linked to artemisinin resistance. Molecular marker analysis, including Sanger sequencing for pfK13 and ARMS-PCR for E415G in pfEXO, was conducted. The study also examined the association of these mutations with Day 3 parasitemia and treatment outcomes using Dihydroartemisinin-Piperaquine (DHA-PPQ).
