Geospatial Mapping of Pediatric Febrile Illness in Uganda to Inform Precision Public Health Interventions

Our findings reveal pronounced geographic and temporal heterogeneity in pediatric febrile illness in Uganda. Environmental and nutritional factors significantly contribute to this variation. These results support targeted, region-specific public health interventions and inform future research into the etiologic drivers of pediatric fever.

Abstract

Our findings reveal pronounced geographic and temporal heterogeneity in pediatric febrile illness in Uganda. Environmental and nutritional factors significantly contribute to this variation. These results support targeted, region-specific public health interventions and inform future research into the etiologic drivers of pediatric fever.
