CHEMOPROPHYLAXIS
FOR THIS PURPOSE DRUGS ACT IN TWO WAYS :
AS SCHIZONTICIDES, when parasites enter the red cell they are destroyed;
AS CAUSAL PROPHYLACTICS, which prevent the development of the PE schizont in the liver, and may have schizonticidal effects.
Currently, chemoprophylaxis is routinely advise only for : NON-IMMUNE travellers visiting endemic area
