The 2 infections of Plasmodium falciparum were acquired in Colombia, South America. Both infections failed to respond to chloroquine therapy administered there. The 1st patient received 3 further courses of 1.5 g of chloroquine and experienced clinical and parasitic relapses 12 and 18 days, respectively, after the 1st 2 courses. Upon completion of the 3d course, the drug was continued for 14 more days at a dosage of 0.3 g daily and blood smears remained positive during this period. A 3 day course of quinine sulfate (90 grains) produced negative blood smears, but a parasitic relapse occurred after 17 days. An apparent cure was effected by a 10 day course of quinine. The 2d patient experienced a clinical and parasitic relapse approximately 20 days after the 1st course of chloroquine; and after 2nd course (2.1 g) followed by a 14-day course of primaquine, a recurrence of parasitemia accompanied by minor symptoms approximately 21 days after the completion of the chloroquine therapy was observed. A 10 day course of quinine produced an apparent cure.
