Interactions Between Chemotherapy and Immunity

  • Chapter
Book cover Antimalarial Drugs I

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 68))

  • 166 Accesses

Abstract

It is perhaps not surprising that few planned studies on the interactions between chemotherapy of malaria and the immune status of infected individuals or animals have been carried out. Most antimalarial drugs have been developed in an empirical way, tested against acute-stage infection. Levels of specific resistance at the time of treatment, immunodepression as a result of infection or increased resistance to challenge as a result of chemotherapy have either been irrelevant or just not considered.
