Altered mental status (AMS) is a priority presenting sign that must be assessed in HIV-infected, febrile children, yet diagnosis is difficult in areas with limited diagnostic capacity. Malaria and bacterial meningitis have been reported as the most common causes of AMS in febrile children presenting to t...
: In 2016, a free healthcare policy (FHP) was implemented in Burkina Faso for
children under the age of five. In our study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of careseeking for a fever in children under the age of five before and after the implementation of
the FHP and to analyze the determinants of n...
Like most malaria-endemic countries, Mozambique relies on tabulation of confirmed malaria test–positive febrile patients to track incidence of malaria. However, this approach is potentially biased by incidental malaria parasitemia in patients with fever of another etiology. We compared pan-Plasmodium a...

Background. Afebrile Plasmodium falciparum infections usually remain undetected and untreated in the community and could potentially contribute to sustaining local malaria transmission in areas aiming for malaria elimination. Methods. Thirty-two men with afebrile P. falciparum infections detected with ra...
