- W1565624728 abstract "Background . Severe malaria, caused by Plasmodium falciparum, is potentially fatal, with a case mortality rate of 15 - 20%, despite treatment. Aim . To document epidemiological and clinical features, including initial treatment, of severe malaria in children referred to a general paediatric unit in Cameroon. Methods . A prospective cross-sectional study investigating characteristics of children admitted for severe malaria, confirmed with a positive thick blood smear. Results . A total of 309 (29.2%) children were identified out of 1 060 admissions, of whom 52% were males and 48% females, and mean age 46.3 (1 - 180) months. Most children were aged artesunate + amodiaquine (18%), and artesunate + mefloquine (6%). Only 16% of the mothers said they had used insecticidetreated bed nets (ITNs). Conclusion . In most cases, there is a delay before consultation, with most children initially self-medicated at home. Initial consultations are at primary local health facilities where less effective drugs are prescribed at inadequate dosages. Recommended ACTs were also often prescribed at inadequate dosages. Education in the use of ITNs, home treatment of simple malaria, and appropriate use of ACTs should be promoted." @default.
