摘要：
Multidrug-resistant malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum has severely limited treatment options over recent years. Artemisinins are still effective for treating uncomplicated as well as severe malaria, because resistance is not yet clinically apparent. This article reviews some clinically useful properties of artemisinins and how they might work. (C) 2004 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.
