assistant
The correct answer is  Chloroquine is the treatment of choice for malaria caused by all sensitive Plasmodium species. For the woman with chloroquine-resistant infection, which constitutes the majority of falciparum infections, quinine plus clindamycin is currently recommended. quinine may induce hyperinsulinemia and thus, possible maternal and fetal hypoglycemia. Mefloquine or atovaquone-proguanil are not currently recommended for treatment during pregnancy, although mefloquine is still recommended for chemoprophylaxis.
