“…The results indicate that the occurrence of fever is higher in children during February to May, a hot and dusty period of the year that is known to be favourable to respiratory diseases (Sorge et al, 2007;Carnevale et al, 2012). During this dry season, the significant proportion of fevers may not be malarial, but rather related to other infectious diseases such as typhoid fever (Swoboda et al, 2014).…”

Using data on 825 under-5 children from the Ouagadougou Health and Demographic Surveillance System collected in 2010, this article examines the effects of aspects of the immediate environment on childhood fever. Logit regression models were estimated to assess the effects of the quality of the local environment on the probability that a child is reported to have had a fever in the two weeks preceding the survey, after controlling for various demographic and socioeconomic variables. While the estimated impact of some environmental factors persisted in the full models, the effects of variables such as access to water and type of household waste management decreased in the presence of demographic, socioeconomic and neighbourhood factors. The management of waste water was found to significantly affect the occurrence of childhood fever. Overall, the results of the study call for more efforts to promote access to tap water to households at prices that are affordable for the local population, where the threats to child health appears to be greatest.

“…The most detailed guideline (with respect to age classes and number of daily applications) has been published by the Groupe de pédiatrie tropicale of the Société française de pédiatrie,59 and has been confirmed recently by the relevant French Scientific Societies,60 giving yet another lower age limit: Newborns and infants < 6 months: avoid all repellent use. Products containing (P)Icaridine should be avoided in children <24 months.…”

This review is focused on childhood specific aspects of malaria, especially in resource-poor settings. We summarise the actual knowledge in the field of epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, management and prevention.These aspects are important as malaria is responsible for almost a quarter of all child death in sub-Saharan Africa. Malaria control is thus one key intervention to reduce childhood mortality, especially as malaria is also an important risk factor for other severe infections, namely bacteraemia.In children symptoms are more varied and often mimic other common childhood illness, particularly gastroenteritis, meningitis/encephalitis, or pneumonia. Fever is the key symptom, but the characteristic regular tertian and quartan patterns are rarely observed. There are no pathognomonic features for severe malaria in this age group. The well known clinical (fever, impaired consciousness, seizures, vomiting, respiratory distress) and laboratory (severe anaemia, thrombocytopenia, hypoglycaemia, metabolic acidosis, and hyperlactataemia) features of severe falciparum malaria in children, are equally typical for severe sepsis.Appropriate therapy (considering species, resistance patterns and individual patient factors) – possibly a drug combination of an artemisinin derivative with a long-acting antimalarial drug - reduces treatment duration to only three days and should be urgently started.While waiting for the results of ongoing vaccine trials, all effort should be made to better implement other malaria-control measures like the use of treated bed-nets, repellents and new chemoprophylaxis regimens.

“…The analysis of the prevalence of malaria either from the GS thin and thick blood smear tests or from the RDTs by sex indicates that there is no statistical significance on the sex basis (c 2 = 0.11, p = 0.739, and c 2 = 0.46, p = 0.496, respectively). This may be explained by the use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), and indoor residual spraying (IRS) by parents following the yearly country-wide National Malaria LLINs distribution programyear, and also reported elsewhere by other authors (42)(43)(44)(45).…”

BackgroundAnemia is a major public health problem, affecting nearly one-quarter of the world’s population. It is defined as a reduction in the hemoglobin level in the peripheral blood to below the normal threshold set for a particular population. Very often in the subtropics, helminths or malaria co-infect an individual, causing morbidities that vary by age and region. This study aims to characterize the type of anemia observed in children under 7 years of age infected with malaria in the western region of Côte d’Ivoire, to recommend a better strategy of care.MethodsThe study was carried out from March 2020 to May 2021 in 22 villages in Man, Tonkpi Region, with a cohort of 451 children, both male and female, aged from 3 months to 6 years. The children provided venous blood samples for the diagnosis and characterization of anemia (full blood count), and Giemsa staining (GS) (thick and thin smears) and rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) were used for the diagnosis of malaria. Risk factors and morbidity profiles were assessed using a questionnaire. Logistic regressions models were employed to identify independent risk factors and morbidity patterns associated with Plasmodium falciparum mono-infection and co-infections.ResultsOf the 451 children who completed the study, 221 (49.0%) were female and 230 (51.0%) were male. The prevalence of anemia was 55.0%, distributed as 30.7% mild, 66.1% moderate, and 3.2% severe anemia. The characterization of anemia revealed that hypochromic microcytic anemia (HMA) was the predominant type, being found in 195 (78.63%) children. It was followed by normochromic microcytic anemia (29 children, 11.69%), normochromic normocytic anemia (14 children, 5.65%), and, finally, hypochromic normocytic anemia (10 children, 4.03%). The prevalence of malaria was 66.7% and 78.3% based on GS and RDTs, respectively. The closed association between malaria (Plasmodium) and anemia led to P. falciparum alone causing 56.7% of mild, 51.3% of moderate, and 37.5% of severe anemia in children.ConclusionMalaria infection was highly prevalent among children aged ≤ 7 years in both sex and in different age groups, although the number of Plasmodium parasites present during infections was greatest in younger children. Similarly, the prevalence of anemia was high, with moderate anemia and HMA being more prevalent in children ≤ 7 years of age in the western region of Côte d’Ivoire.
