South-East Asia, this phenomenon has no practical implications for travelers with uncomplicated malaria. The combination of artemether-lumefantrine is still very effective and safe, be it for P. falciparum [...] administration of artesunate has allowed to significantly reducing case fatality rate of severe malaria patients when compared to quinine treatment in endemic areas. Artesunate is also recommended in travelers
