Malaria accounts for 1-3 million deaths yearly worldwide, mostly in children under 5 years of age in sub-Saharan Africa. Laboratory and clinical studies show an association between acute malaria and a decreased response to diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and to meningococcal, salmonella, and Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccinations. Malaria treatment, chemoprophylaxis, or other forms of parasite suppression might improve the immune response to childhood vaccinations. However, the antimalarial 4-aminoquinolones are immunodepressive, such that antimalarial drugs might depress the vaccine response.
