Malaria infection during pregnancy is a major public health problem. Due to increasing resistance to Chloroquine and Sulphadoxine/Pyrimethamine, the Ugandan national policy on malaria treatment was changed in 2005 to Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) as the first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria. The policy recommends assessment of safety and efficacy of alternative drugs for treatment of uncomplicated malaria. We compared the efficacy and safety of Artemether-Lumefantrine (Coartem) and Chlorproguanil-Dapsone (Lapdap) in the management of uncomplicated malaria in pregnancy.
