Clinico-epidemiological profiles & amp; outcome of severe malaria in children under-five in the tribal area of Kalahandi, Odisha

CONCLUSIONS: In high endemic areas severe malaria is predominantly a disease of under-five children and is caused by P. falciparum. Clinical manifestations of severe malaria in children can be varied and life-threatening. Primary health facilities can manage severe malaria successfully, thereby reducing child mortality. Effective collaboration between malaria control and nutrition intervention programmes is essential for appropriate case management.PMID:38439122 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.ijmr_3302_21
