Malaria in rural Mozambique. Part I: Children attending the outpatient clinic

Caterina Guinovart, Quique Bassat, Betuel Sigaúque, Pedro Aide, Jahit Sacarlal, Tacilta Nhampossa, Azucena Bardají, Ariel Nhacolo, Eusébio Macete, Inácio Mandomando, John J Aponte, Clara Menéndez, Pedro L Alonso Malaria Journal 2008, 7:36 (26 February 2008)

An analysis of a total of 94,941 outpatient visits in a rural hospital, of which 30.5% had malaria. The study confirms the logic of targeting preventive measures at children below three years of age, as they carry the highest burden of malaria, but it points out that children aged 5-15 years represent around a third of the malaria cases and should also be included in control programmes.
