N2 - Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Haiti is considered chloroquine susceptible, although resistance transporter al-leles associated with chloroquine resistance were recently detected. Among 49 patients with falciparum malaria, we found neither parasites carrying haplotypes associated with chloroquine resistance nor instances of chloroquine treatment failure. Continued vigilance to detect emergence of chloroquine resistance is needed.
