| dc.description | Malaria and other febrile illnesses are very common especially in children in developing countries. Due to reliance on clinical algorithms for diagnosis in resource-poor settings, most febrile episodes have always been attributed to malaria. However, continuous malaria monitoring and recent improvements in malaria diagnosis have revealed a progressive decline in malaria and significant involvement of non-malarial etiologies in most febrile cases. This paper highlights the situation of malarial and non-malarial fevers, challenges facing the health sector, and possible approaches to addressing these challenges for better diagnosis of non-malarial febrile illnesses in Tanzania. | |
