When severe malaria is suspected in children, the WHO recommends pretreatment with a single rectal dose of artesunate before referral to an appropriate facility. This was an individually randomized, open-label, 2-arm, crossover clinical trial in 83 Congolese children with severe falciparum malaria to characterize the pharmacokinetics of rectal artesunate.
