Chien-Chi Chang/Magnum on Malaria Flora Twikirize, who is 4 months pregnant, was brought to the Kabale Regional Hospital by a neighbor after collapsing and losing consciousness in her own home. A week ago, when she fell ill with fever and headaches, her husband brought her to a local private clinic where she was tested and diagnosed with having malaria. She paid about $8 and was given chloroquine which in the past several years has proved to be ineffective against malaria in Africa. Though the malaria parasite has grown resistant, many private clinics still prescribe the drug because their inventories are full of it.]]> http://blog.magnumphotos.com/2007/04/when_a_parasite_outsmarts_a_drug.html http://blog.magnumphotos.com/2007/04/when_a_parasite_outsmarts_a_drug.html <p>Amazing usage of natural lighting!
