"In a prospective longitudinal in vivo study, neutrophil rates were compared with malaria carriage after treatment with different ACTs: Artemether - lumefantrine (AL), Artesunate - amodiaquine (ASAQ), Dihydroartemisinin - piperaquine (DP) or Pyronaridine artesunate (PA)."4.31Variation in neutrophil levels and artemisinin-based combination therapy efficacy in West-Africa.
