N2 - Intravenous artesunate improves survival in severe malaria, but clinical trial data from non-endemic countries are scarce. The TropNet severe malaria database was analyzed to compare outcomes of artesunate vs. quinine treatment. Artesunate reduced parasite clearance time, duration of ICU- and hospital treatment in European patients with imported severe malaria.
