Improved control efforts are reducing the burden of malaria in Africa, but may result in decreased antimalarial immunity. A cohort of 129 children aged 1–10 years in Kampala, Uganda were treated with amodiaquine+sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine for 396 episodes of uncomplicated malaria over a 29 month period as part of a longitudinal clinical trial. The risk of treatment failure increased over the course of the study from 5% to 21% (HR=2.4/yr, 95%CI=1.3–4.3). Parasite genetic polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk of failure, but their prevalence did not change over time. Three markers of antimalarial immunity were associated with a decreased risk of treatment failure: increased age (HR=0.5/5yrs, 95%CI=0.2–1.2), living in an area of higher malaria incidence (HR=0.26, 95%CI=0.11–0.64), and recent asymptomatic parasitemia (HR=0.06, 95%CI=0.01–0.36). In multivariate analysis, adjustment for recent asymptomatic parasitemia, but not parasite polymorphisms, removed the association between calendar time and the risk of treatment failure (HR=1.5/yr, 95%CI=0.7–3.4), suggesting that worsening treatment efficacy was best explained by decreasing host immunity. Declining immunity in our study population appeared to be the primary factor underlying decreased efficacy of amodiaquine+sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine. With improved malaria control efforts, decreasing immunity may unmask resistance to partially efficacious drugs.
