Charles O Obonyo, Elizabeth A Juma Malaria Journal 2012, 11:2 (4 January 2012) The evidence on the efficacy of clindamycin plus quinine as an alternative treatment for uncomplicated malaria is inconclusive. Adequately powered trials are urgently required to compare this combination with artemisinin-based combinations.

Malaria paediatric hospitalization between 1999 and 2008 across Kenya Emelda A Okiro, Victor A Alegana, Abdisalan M Noor, Juliette J Mutheu, Elizabeth Juma, Robert W Snow BMC Medicine 2009, 7:75 (9 December 2009) While admission rates have declined over the last decade, the changes in pediatric hospitalizations for malaria across Kenya are not uniform, highlighting geographical inequalities and the need for further investigation to ensure interventions aimed at infection control are effective.

Malaria has no effect on birth weight in Rwanda Stephen Rulisa, Pètra F Mens, Corine Karema, Henk DFH Schallig, Nadine Kaligirwa, Joseph Vyankandondera, Peter J de Vries Malaria Journal 2009, 8:194 (10 August 2009) The study is highly relevant in view of the reported reduction in malaria burden in Rwanda as a result from scale up of effective malaria interventions. The malaria control programme needs to adapt this changing situation in terms of choosing appropriate and relevant control tools The findings from the current study could inform policy decisions.
