This 11-year-old boy presented with a P falciparum malaria and dengue co-infection. Malaria and dengue infections are still major mosquito-borne public health problems in tropical regions worldwide. This is the first case report of malaria and dengue co-infection reported in Thailand. 11 12 In this case, we recognised this co-infection for ...

presenting to Lincoln Hospitals Emergency Department with fevers and fatigue. The patients travel history to Togo, along with her symptoms, resulted in a differential diagnosis which included Ebola as well as Malaria.

There are multiple ways to submit malaria case investigation reports to CDC. However, the preference is to submit them using the CDC malaria electronic case report form (eCRF) or via HL7 using the malaria message mapping guide (MMG) standards. CDC supports HL7 reporting for malaria via two MMGs: GenV2 and the malaria specific MMG.

In May 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the use of intravenous artesunate for the treatment of adults and children with severe malaria. This case report describes a case of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in a 55-year-old woman who returned home to Florida from a visit to Ghana.

For this case‐study, a desk review of malaria control history in Tunisia was conducted, followed by a country visit for collaborative work and interviews with representatives from the Ministry of Health, National Malaria Control Programme and other malaria control and elimination stakeholders.

This series of case studies aims to capture the experience of community engagement across a range of health and development sectors to explore how malaria and other programmes use community engagement strategies to design, implement, monitor, and sustain interventions.

This study analysed historical malaria cases in India from 1990 to 2022 to assess the annual trends and the impact of key anti-malarial interventions on malaria incidence. Factors associated with malaria incidence were identified using univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses. Generalized linear, smoothing, autoregressive integrated moving averages (ARIMA) and Holt's models ...

The Malaria Frontline Project (MFP) supported the National Malaria Elimination Program for effective program implementation in the high malaria-burden states of Kano and Zamfara adapting the National Stop Transmission of Polio (NSTOP) program elimination strategies.

This case-study is part of a series of malaria elimination case-studies conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Malaria Programme and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), Global Health Group.

This case-study is part of a series of malaria elimination case-studies conducted by the WHO Global Malaria Programme and the Global Health Group of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSH/GHG).

Malaria: A Global Story. Malaria is caused by single-cell parasites of genus Plasmodium (P.). Four types of P. parasites infect humans: Plasmodium falciparum, vivax, ovale. and malariae. Among these, P. falciparum is the most common and most deadly. Malaria parasites develop through various stages of the life cycle in two hosts—female ...

Since its launch in 2005, the U.S. President's Malaria Initiative's (PMI) investment in malaria case management has evolved based on lessons learned from its support to countries. An initial focus on updating malaria treatment policies to adopt artemisinin-based combination therapies achieved limited success, in part because of the poor quality of diagnostic and treatment services in ...

The results of this study have been used to design a project using three key interventions to enhance the quality of malaria prevention and control services: an adapted community dialogue approach (the Community Health Participatory Approach), improved support for CHWs, and vouchers to cover the cost of transport to and treatment from a CHW or ...

We conducted a two-arm cluster randomized trial in rural Madagascar to assess the impact of expanding malaria community case management (mCCM) to all ages on health care access and use.

This research project on malaria elimination attempts in Africa uses archival, ethnographic, and oral research in Africa, Europe, and the US. It will draw on STS frameworks while engaging with literatures on the anthropology of science and biomedicine, and it will result in a series of closely-linked research and educational outputs centered around questions of history, ethics, and the role of ...

This essay undertakes a retrospective ethical assessment of the Stateville malaria research during the 1940s in light of basic ethical principles and the Nuremberg Code, as well as contemporary malaria research. In addition to its historical interest, this case study provides a rich context for addressing basic issues of research ethics ...

Preface. The African Natural Resources Center (ANRC) has commissioned a series of case studies. to bridge the knowledge gap in natural resources project-driven SME development, supply chain-based domestic linkages, extractives revenue management, public-private. partnerships and fiscal policy formulation:

Malaria is one of the most fearsome threats to health in Ethiopia, where more than two-thirds of the population lives in high-risk areas and over 1.5 million cases are reported annually. South West Ethiopia, encompassing a population of 3.3 million, is particularly prone to malaria outbreaks, and represents over 15 percent of the country's overall malaria case burden.

Strategies for malaria case management are an integral part of malaria control programmes. They should be based on sound epidemiology, taking into consideration the population at greatest risk and the seasonality of malaria. This manual advises national malaria control programmes on the best methods to ensure access to early diagnosis and appropriate, effective case management based on sound ...

A major focus of IDEEL@Carolina's research has been studying the diversity of malaria parasites both within populations as well as within people. Early on, our work focused on studying drug resistance and outcomes of clinical trials and the impact that with-in host diversity might have on interpreting studies.

A case study of severe malaria: implications for practice Katherine Bates

The Patient/Family Care Study involves a record of nursing care, identifying the problems of a nursing patient and how they are dealt with by the nurse in the course of finding solution to the problems. It provides a systematic way of collecting data, analysing information, and reporting the results of nursing care.

Malaria has created a resurgence crisis in Zimbabwe's elimination continuum, diverging from global commitment to malaria elimination by 2030. This retrospective cohort study aimed to determine the risk factors associated with severe malaria in the Beitbridge and Lupane districts. Multistage sampling was used to recruit 2414 individuals recorded in the District Health Information Software2 ...

But then came a landmark study: of 200 samples taken from malaria patients in Borneo's Sarawak state, ... (the first documented case was in 1965, a US Army surveyor who fell sick after a stint ...

Malaria Journal welcomes well-described Case studies. These will usually present a major programme intervention or policy option relevant to the journal field. Manuscripts that include a rigorous assessment of the processes and the impact of the study, as well as recommendations for the future, will generally be considered favourably.
