Simple blood tests may help prevent inaccuracy in the diagnosis of severe malaria
Using simple blood tests could help researchers identify children who have been misidentified as having severe malaria, according to a study published today in
eLife.
Researchers are working to develop better ways to treat severe malaria, which kills about 400,000 children in Africa each year. The discovery could help expedite such research by helping them more accurately identify children with severe malaria. It also reinforces the importance of the World Health Organization s recommendation that all children being treated for severe malaria also receive antibiotics to ensure any misdiagnosed children receive life-saving care.
