The response of Plasmodium falciparum infections to a standard weight-related dose of chloroquine using the W.H.O. Extended Field Test was investigated in the Maprik and Popondetta areas of Papua New Guinea. 14 cases in Maprik and 12 at Popondetta were followed daily for 7 days and weekly for a further 3 weeks after receiving 25 mg/kg body-weight of chloroquine over 3 days. All subjects responded well, the parasitaemias cleared in all cases by the 4th day after initiation of treatment and no recrudescences occurred in any subject in the month following therapy. [AS].
