malaria/vomiting

This study followed WHO recommendations for in vivo antimalarial efficacy trials. The study population comprised children aged 6 to 59 months with microscopically confirmed acute uncomplicated malaria. Other inclusion criteria included body weight ≥5kg, the presence of fever (≥37.5°C axillary) or a

Background Malaria continues to pose a serious burden to the local populations in sub-Sahara Africa. Several efforts have been made to scale up interventions that work such as preventing man-vector contact, intermittent preventive therapy, seasonal malaria chemoprophylaxis as well as TTT for febrile

1. BACKGROUND In 2002, the Philippines changed its antimalarial drug policy to the combination treatment, CQ+ Sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) as 1st-line treatment and artemether-lumefantrine as 2nd-line treatment. The Department of Health (DOH) prescribed the use of artemether-lumefantrine (AL)

Introduction/Rationale The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2010 reported that malaria was endemic in 96 countries reflecting an improvement of the situation of 2005 where it was endemic in 106 countries. Malaria morbidity and mortality remain a serious problem in sub Saharan Africa especially in

Combination therapy, the new strategy for malaria treatment, is based on the hypothesis that two (or more) components of different mechanisms of action protect each other from development of resistance. Artemisinin as well as its two derivatives, e.g. artemether and artesunate, constitute a family

meningitis is a notifiable disease in many countries, the exact incidence rate is unknown. In 2013 meningitis resulted in 303,000 deaths - down from 464,000 deaths in 1990. In 2010 it was estimated that meningitis resulted in 420,000 deaths, excluding cryptococcal meningitis. Bacterial meningitis

DIAGNOSTIC DISCREPANCY According to WHO experts, WHZ and MUAC can be used independently to indicate severe acute malnutrition (WH. There is however a significant and sometimes huge discrepancy between these two criteria: they do not usually identify the same children as acutely malnourished;

Malaria incidence has increased two- to three-folds over the past four decades, and nearly half the world's population now lives in regions endemic for malaria: In Asia, Africa, and South America. A global annual estimate of 300-500 clinical cases of malaria and mortality in the range of 1-2 million

The primary objectives of this trial are: (i) show non-inferiority of IHAT compared to ferrous sulphate for efficacy (in terms of Hb and iron deficiency correction); (ii) show superiority of IHAT compared to ferrous sulphate in terms of moderate-severe diarrhoea (incidence and prevalence); (iii)

1. Screening All patients registering for outpatient services in the outpatient department will undergo routine investigation. When malaria is suspected, a thick and thin blood smear will be obtained for microscopic diagnosis of Plasmodium vivax or a malaria RDT undertaken. After the diagnosis is

1. OBJECTIVE- To assess the efficacy of co-administered chloroquine+primaquine (CQ+PQ) vs.CQ alone (PQ being postponed up to day 28 of CQ therapy) as a schizontocidal therapy (28-day follow-up) and as radical cure among uncomplicated P. vivax malaria (6-month follow-up). Specifically: - To measure

Study design This was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial among children with a presumptive diagnosis of acute migraine in the ED. The study was approved by the institutional IRB and written informed assent and consent were obtained by the patient and a parent respectively,

3.1 STUDY DESIGN Children with uncomplicated malaria meeting the inclusion criteria will be enrolled (after their parent/caretaker has given informed consent), treated on site with the drugs under evaluation and followed-up for a period of 42 days. Drugs will be given under direct supervision,

3.1 Study Design This study is designed as a randomized open label 42-day follow-up study to evaluate the clinical and parasitological responses after treatment of uncomplicated P.falciparum infections with either AS or DHA-PPQ. Symptomatic patients with P.falciparum mono-infections, fulfilling the
