PG  - 296-300
AB  - The results of a randomized controlled trial in Tanzania suggest that 
      intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi), delivered through the 
      Expanded Program on Immunization, might be a useful approach to controlling 
      malaria in countries where it is endemic. An international consortium of research 
      collaborations, involving the World Health Organization and United Nation's 
      Children's Fund, is now evaluating IPTi in a range of different settings to 
      generate robust and compelling evidence to guide policy. This review summarizes 
      the available information on IPTi and presents the consortium's approach to 
      determining whether IPTi might be a valuable additional strategy in programs to 
      control malaria.
