| Abstract: | We noticed overrepresentation of atovaquone-proguanil therapeutic failures among Plasmodium falciparum-infected travelers weighing >100 kg. We report here 1 of these cases, which was not due to resistant parasites or impaired drug bioavailability. The follow-up of such patients should be strengthened. |
