Accuracy of Fever and Fraction of Fevers Attributable to Malaria among Under- fives under Reduced Malaria Infection Prevalencei in District
A decline in malaria transmission is evident in malaria endemic areas of sub-Saharan Africa and is likely to reduce the proportion of fevers due to malaria. Fever has been used as a predictor of malaria, however, the proportion of fevers due to malaria vary with prevalence such that low malaria infection prevalence might alter the accuracy of fever as a marker of malaria. This study examined th...

متن کاملWhen fever is not malaria
In the past few years, major eff orts in malaria control, alongside a renewed emphasis on malaria elimination and eradication, have led to declines in disease incidence. Nowadays, malaria is just one of many causes of fever in most endemic contexts, and often a fairly rare one. Investigation of nonmalarial causes of fever is therefore a priority, as was underlined at WHO’s informal consultation...
متن کاملMalaria parasites are rapidly killed by dantrolene derivatives specific for the plasmodial surface anion channel.
Dantrolene was recently identified as a novel inhibitor of the plasmodial surface anion channel (PSAC), an unusual ion channel on Plasmodium falciparum-infected human red blood cells. Because dantrolene is used clinically, has a high therapeutic index, and has desirable chemical synthetic properties, it may be a lead compound for antimalarial development. However, dantrolene derivatives would n...
متن کاملEstimating the acute health effects of coarse particulate matter accounting for exposure measurement error.
In air pollution epidemiology, there is a growing interest in estimating the health effects of coarse particulate matter (PM) with aerodynamic diameter between 2.5 and 10 μm. Coarse PM concentrations can exhibit considerable spatial heterogeneity because the particles travel shorter distances and do not remain suspended in the atmosphere for an extended period of time. In this paper, we develop...
