Burden of child mortality from malaria in high endemic areas: Results from the CHAMPS network using minimally invasive tissue sampling

202418 citationsOpen accessUniversity of the Witwatersrand

Abstract

Malaria remains a significant cause of childhood mortality in the CHAMPS malaria-endemic sites. The high bacterial co-infection prevalence among malaria deaths underscores the potential benefits of antibiotics for severe malaria patients. Compared to non-malaria deaths, many of malaria-attributed deaths are preventable through accessible malaria control measures.
