High incidence of clinical malaria among asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infected children receiving SMC with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine and amodiaquine (SP + AQ) in Koulikoro, Mali
These findings demonstrate an elevated risk of clinical malaria in asymptomatic infected children during SMC implementation. Screening and treating P. falciparum infections prior to SMC administration could substantially enhance the effectiveness of this strategy in reducing malaria morbidity in endemic areas.
