Tiered laboratory analyses for common infections to characterize febrile morbidity not related to malaria in Sierra Leone

2015-01-01

Abstract excerpt

In tropical Africa, fever is commonly associated with malaria. However, there are many other illnesses presenting with fever. Non-malaria febrile illnesses (NMFIs) may be attributable to multiple etiologic agents including viral, bacterial and parasitic infections in malaria-endemic resource-poor countries. NMFIs pose challenges to peripheral health systems such that they are clinically under-diagnosed while malar...
