Malaria grave en niños (Severe malaria in children)

ed. The primary objective of antimalarial treatment in preventing death. Conclusions: the data from studies in Latin America on children with severe malaria is, in practice, absent. There is manifest urgency to advance indigenous studies on severe malaria in the Americas, including the different clinical forms caused by P. falciparum and P. vivax. Reports of severe disease caused by the latter species are growing in the world, causing 65-80% of malaria in Colombia, depending on the region.
