Modelling the impact of misdiagnosis and treatment on the dynamics of malaria concurrent and co-infection with pneumonia

Abstract: Incidences of misdiagnosis of diseases with similar symptoms as malaria has increased lately due to the increasing levels of endemicity of these diseases and their co-infection with malaria. In this paper a mathematical model for the impact of misdiagnosis and treatment of pneumonia as malaria has been developed and analyzed. The dynamics

“…e findings of this investigation demonstrated that among the suggested techniques, preventing infectious disease and treating pneumonia seem to be the most cost-effective. Many researchers have examined co-infection of communicable ailments with HIV and pneumonia co-infection [23], while Akinyi et al [24] looked into bacterial meningitis and plasmodium co-infection.…”

“…Several researchers developed various mathematical models by taking into account different biological feasible parameters to further elaborate the co-infection of the diseases in the community [17] , [18] , [19] . Particularly, Akinyi et al., had formulated a mathematical model elaborating the consequences of wrong diagnosis and cure of pneumonia as malaria [20] . The result of the study suggests that the diagnosis of pneumonia and malaria can accurately be done if the basic reproductive number is less then unity.…”

“…The result of the study revealed that prevention of typhoid fever and treatment of pneumonia is the most cost-effective strategies from the proposed ones. Different authors have studied co-infection of various diseases: [10] studied co-infection of HIV and pneumonia, [11] studied co-infection of pneumonia and malaria. However, to the best of our knowledge, no one has investigated co-infection of pneumonia and meningitis.…”
