- Due to the limitation of manpower in the Health Centres, packet (bulk) of drug distribution procedure is now being used to replace the daily supervised drug administration, procedure for vivax malaria treatment programme in the field. To evaluate the efficacy of both procedures (daily and packet) this study was performed in Central Java in 1989-1990. The study subjects were vivax malaria patients, from all age groups, which were devided into two groups. Group I received the drug daily (standard treatment) and group II through packet procedure. The dose for chloroquine was 25 mg/kg BW in 3 days and for primaquine was 5 mg per day for 5 days. Blood examinations were performed on day 2, 7 and 28 followed by monthly examinations until 6 months after the treatment was started. The result showed that treatment failure was relatively high in both groups: 29,27 % from 41 patients who received daily treatment and 35,01 % from 91 patients with packet procedure. Cure rate in the daily treatment group was 65,62 % and 62,29 % from the packet procedure group. It is concluded that packet administration of vivax malaria drug is as effective as daily supervised administration. Combination of chloroquine and primaquine was succesful for treatment of vivax malaria in 95,55 % in daily group and 86,89 % in packet group although the drug dosage is not yet optimal.
