Highland malaria at the Kiziba UNHCR refugee camps (1950 m. a. s.)

Abstract

Abstract:Introduction: Risk factors for highland malaria and difference diagnosis of highland malaria is discussed and analyzed in UNHCR refugee camps in Kizba, Rwanda. Patients and Methods: Diagnosis of highland malaria was performed clinically plus microscopically (blood smear) and with rapid diagnostic test (RDT). Results: 371 patients from an area of 4,777 residents were diagnosed for malaria and the mean levels of CRP where 70.1 g/l. Conclusion: Despite Highland malaria at an attitude of 1,950 m.a.s. is very rare, CRP response in a patient was significant.

This was certified by the results of this study where forestland recorded decreasing percentage from 2013 to 2019 (Figures 3, 4 and 5).…”

Rapid diagnostic tests correlates with microscopy but not C-reactive protein among HIV positive rural population with malaria in Central Uganda (Research note)

“…Consumption of antimalarial treatment is increasing after artemisin was introduced as a first line treatment of tropical malaria. (Molnarova et al 2016). Due to the limited resources in the area of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) only parasite based microscopy (PM) was used in the past.…”
