Abstract
Clara Menendez and colleagues (Sept 20, p 844) show the protective effect of Deltaprim (3·125 mg pyrimethamine plus 25 mg dapsone) in infants exposed to intense transmission of Plasmodium falciparum. On the basis of post-treatment attack rates, they state, “The study shows that partly effective malaria control has modified the rate at which naturally acquired immunity develops”. We offer two alternative explanations.
