Plasmodium malariae is a highly treatable form of malaria. The primary medication used to treat it is chloroquine, which is very effective for this specific strain. In cases where chloroquine cannot be used, doctors may prescribe artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs), such as artemether-lumefantrine, or atovaquone-proguanil. These medications work quickly to clear the parasite from your body. Your doctor will select the best option based on your health history and where you travelled. Please rest assured that with the correct course of medication, this condition is fully curable.
