A cross-sectional study on the diagnostic and therapeutic practices of health staff and mothers with regards to carrying for children's fever was carried out from February 27 to March 16, 1995, in the rural district of Boko. The sample was comprised of 630 children aged less than 5 years old, having suffered from fever within the past 15 days and who were treated either at home or in a local health centre with a drug most presently used against malaria. The results compiled from the responses to the questionnaire have shown that the most frequently cited symptoms by mothers are fever (57.8%), asthenia (51.7%), vomiting (10.6%), chills (7.3%) and diarrhea (7.3%). Chloroquine is the most utilised drug at home (61%) and anti-malaria injections are the most frequently used drugs in health centres (51.7%). The medicine is mainly supplied by public drugstores and pharmacies (47.8%) and street vendors (43.2%). Proper management of a fever requires adequate training of health staff and a good level of communication between health workers and their target populations.
1995年2月27日至3月16日，在博科农村地区开展了一项关于卫生工作人员和母亲对儿童发烧护理的诊断和治疗做法的横断面研究。样本包括630名5岁以下儿童，这些儿童在过去15天内发烧，并且在家庭或当地卫生中心接受了目前最常用的抗疟疾药物治疗。对问卷回复进行汇总的结果显示，母亲最常提到的症状是发烧（57.8%）、乏力（51.7%）、呕吐（10.6%）、寒战（7.3%）和腹泻（7.3%）。氯喹是家庭中使用最多的药物（61%），抗疟疾注射剂是卫生中心最常用的药物（51.7%）。药品主要由公共药店和药房供应（47.8%）以及街头小贩供应（43.2%）。对发烧进行妥善管理需要对卫生工作人员进行充分培训，以及卫生工作者与其目标人群之间保持良好的沟通水平。
