Abstract
This is a brief review that highlights recent updates in malaria case management. Recent WHO revisions include a new artemisinin-based molecule (artesunate-pyronaridine), revising the recommendations for treating uncomplicated malaria during the first trimester of pregnancy and optimizing primaquine dose to prevent relapses. The review also highlights innovative ideas to improve the implementation of guidelines for severe malaria and pre-referral treatment with rectal artesunate. Some issues under review for guideline revisions have also been pointed out.
