Failure of malaria chemoprophylaxis with mefloquine in an oversize traveller to Mozambique

A case of failure of mefloquine prophylaxis in an oversize traveller, who correctly took the drug. This case seems to be attributed to mefloquine resistance, however it is suggested that mefloquine dosage should be modulated by body weight, as is already indicated by some authorities.
