Factors associated with timely treatment of malaria in the Brazilian Amazon: a 10-year population-based study.

Conclusion: In the Brazilian Amazon area, individuals were more likely to have timely treatment of malaria if they were young, residing in Acre or Rondônia states, have little schooling, and be identified through active detection. Identifying groups vulnerable to late treatment is important for preventing severe cases and malaria deaths. PMID: 28902263 [PubMed - in process]
