18 August 2008	Amended	Converted to new review format with minor editing.
30 April 2007	New citation required and conclusions have changed	2007, Issue 3: A substantive update with new authors. We included nine new trials and excluded two studies (Dunne 1991 and Macotela‐Ruiz 1996) included in Walker 2000 after re‐evaluation, as noted in the 'Characteristics of excluded studies'. The review has been rewritten and reformatted throughout, and the conclusions of the review have been updated to reflect the new trial evidence. We used more precise definitions in the 'Types of interventions' and separated the 'Types of outcome measures' into primary, secondary, and adverse events. Treatment failure in those clinically diagnosed and treatment failure in those microscopically confirmed are considered as separate outcome measures, while parasitological cure is no longer an outcome measure. We reformatted the search strategy section, but did not attempt to systematically search literature for adverse events. For data analysis, we used relative risks rather than odds ratios, and used a random‐effects model for meta‐analysis if significant heterogeneity was present. We used available‐case analyses rather than intention‐to‐treat analyses using imputed data.
