Abstract
Halofantrine and mefloquine are efficient for falciparum malaria treatment in our pediatric series, despite a high rate of adverse events. Mefloquine's tolerance may probably be improved with changes in regimen and dose. Relapses are more frequent with a single first treatment of halofantrine, than with mefloquine. Unfortunately, features of a second halofantrine treatment are not defined.
