Malaria cases in Chumphon, Surat Thani and Ranong

"the presecibing MD is a speicalist in Tropical Crud"

 

Are you sure? Whatever "crud" means.

 

Cipro has been used against malaria without much success, it is definitely not the treatment of choice. If a specialist feels comfortable to prescribe this unorthodox medication (which I doubt) this doesn't mean it should be promoted on an internet forum.

This is the recommendation for Thailand by the Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control (my translation)

 

On round trips in rural areas (especially border districts near Myanmar and Cambodia, including Koh Chang island) more than one week under more primitive conditions prophylaxis with Malarone, mefloquine or doxycycline is recommended. Prophylaxis is not needed for a few days excursions and accoummodations for instance near river Kwai. For longer staying near the border to Myanmar and southeast part of Cambodia doxycycline should be considered (due to spread resistance against mefloquine) for a limited number of travellers.

I've had great success with the system at m HMO and continue to listen to the Medical Progfessionals

Jimmy,

Glad to see after all the little bickering that you finally agree with me on something

 

As I also said

For medical it is best to speak with YOUR Doc who is knowledgable in Malaria AND your background

Glad you agree, Maybe this is a breakthrough

I am I the only one to get edited....MY script is frfom an MD shop is a specialist and these posters are giving medical advice......Oppp, does HondodoBoob have a friend?

[Guest]

Jimmy,

I must say that after a rough start it feels good to have a friend here. I know there was some bickering but it seems we have gotten past that and I am happy that you agree with things the way i see the. No way should medical advice be given here, just maybe what has bee given previously.

As I mentioned, And you agreed with me

For medical it is best to speak with YOUR Doc who is knowledgable in Malaria AND your background

This is a good thing. Although I have a lot to learn I am sure a friend like you can help me, Just as i can help keep you safe if you ever do decide to visit Honduras. It really is not that bad and you should not be afraid. Most are quite friendly and those with machetes are usually just showing off.

HJ and HD,

 

Final warning, the both of you knock of the crap or I *will* ban both of you.

 

Sanuk!

And than what? They probably come back as HondurasJimmy and HonululBob.

 

Can you beam them to Mars, Scotty??

Hi Elef,

 

And from the health center in Koh Chang (Trat), malaria division, I received a leaflet stating: "Due to problems of resistance of malaria parasites to antimalarial drug, prophylaxis is not recommended".

Stayed 3 months there, sleeping without a mozzie net, not so many mozzies around there really, not at the beaches anyway, only sandflies.

 

I went with the local advice and used no prophylaxis.

 

Cheers

Hi HN,

 

that advice is for doctors and Koh Chang is probably included here

 

"For longer staying near the border to Myanmar and southeast part of Cambodia doxycycline should be considered (due to spread resistance against mefloquine) for a limited number of travellers."

 

For "a limited number of travellers" may be defined in some general advice, but I guess it's for some risk groups.
