Abstract
Malaria is a major public health problem and a leading cause of mortality worldwide, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, where 90% of the world's 627 000 malaria deaths occur every year.1 However, the disease is usually curable if diagnosed quickly. Diagnosis is often made on the basis of clinical symptoms, but this method is alarmingly inaccurate. Presumptive treatment of malaria is often used for all patients with fever to reduce malaria morbidity and mortality, particularly in resource-poor health facilities.
