The aetiology of non-malarial febrile illness in children in the malaria-endemic Niger Delta Region of Nigeria

2013-02-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objective</h4> Febrile illnesses are common in childhood and differentiating the causes could be challenging in areas of perennial malaria transmission. To determine the proportion of non-malarial febrile illness in children, the aetiological agents and their antimicrobial sensitivity pattern. <h4>Methods</h4> Blood, urine, throat swab and ear swab samples were obtained from 190 febrile children aged 6 months...
