Figure 2.

Age groups of patients treated on basis of negative RDT results at 21 health care facilities in 5 districts of Uganda between July and December, 2007. All patients that were negative after testing with RDTs were stratified according to age. Proportions of patients with RDT negative results that received AMD prescriptions were compared among children under 5 years and adults. Half of the children under 5 years with negative RDT results received AMD compared to 28% in the older age group (p < 0.001).
