Summary: Problem: Malnutrition and malaria are responsible for high mortality rate in Niger. The interaction between malnutrition and malaria remains controversial. Methodology: We analyzed the retrospective data (2014 and 2015) of malarious children referred to the pediatric dep...
Background: The relationship between sickle cell disease and malaria remains controversial and the hypothesis that sickle cell disease protects against malaria is widespread. Methodology: A descriptive and retrospective study over a two-year period (2014-2016) was conducted in pe...
