TL;DR: In a rural area of The Gambia, bed nets in villages participating in a primary health-care (PHC) scheme were treated with permethrin and children aged 6 months to 5 years were randomised to receive weekly either chemoprophylaxis with maloprim or a placebo throughout the malaria transmission season, finding no evidence of an additional benefit of chemopophylaxis in preventing deaths.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used post-mortem questionnaires to identify the most common causes of death in children under the age of one year but responsible for about 40% of deaths in children aged 1-4 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: HIV, malnutrition and IBI are biologically associated with severe disease due to falciparum malaria rather than being simply alternative diagnoses in co-incidentally parasitized children in an endemic area.
Journal ArticleDOI
