Abstract
Gastric emptying by paracetamol absorption test was performed in 22 pa tients with uncomplicated falciparum malaria. There was no significant difference in the time to reach the maximum plasma paracetamol concen tration (T-max) and the maximum plasma paracetamol concentration (C-ma x) of the patients during acute illness and convalescence. We conclude d that gastric emptying was not altered in acute uncomplicated falcipa rum malaria.
