Diagnostic accuracy and case management of clinical malaria in the primary health services of a rural area in south-eastern Tanzania (Publications)
y of 70.4% (IC95% = 65.9-74.8%) and a specificity of 68.9% (IC95% = 66.2-71.5%). Accordingly, 30.4% of confirmed cases left with no antimalarial treatment. Among malaria-diagnosed patients, 10% were underdosed [...] malaria cases and 42.4% prescribed an antimalarial. According to our malaria case definition of fever or history of fever with asexual falciparum parasitaemia of any density, 25.5% of all children attending [...] underdosed and 10.5% were overdosed.

The other two factors were regular consumption of raw vegetables (OR = 25.5, IC95 p. 100 = 2.0-32.0) and use of untreated [...] The annual incidence of diarrhea ranged from 6.9 (IC95 p. 100 = 5.0-8.8) to 8.5 (IC95 p. 100 = 6.2-10.8) episodes per gardener and year. Multivariate analysis identified four significant risk factors.
