Thesis
The epidemiology of acute febrile illness in rural South and Southeast Asian primary care, and evaluation of selected interventions to improve its management
- Abstract:
-
Acute febrile illness (AFI) accounts for a major proportion of presentations in primary care, particularly in tropical low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). The paradigm that tropical AFI is primarily attributable to malaria is no longer valid in South and Southeast Asia, yet there is precious little high-quality contemporary evidence on its epidemiology, especially in the rural, resource-constrained, and under-studied areas containing most of the regional population.
