The success rates are quite high today, over 80% to 85%, for both uncomplicated and severe malaria cases. Uncomplicated malaria cases are treated with pills taken orally for three to five days. If the treatment starts early, the disease stops completely after five days. You just have to follow up with boosters. In severe malaria cases, the same drugs are used, but parentarally through IV drips. In those cases, treatment takes seven to ten days and we obtain the same results, a success rate of over 80%.
