We report the impact of the free access to health facilities on malaria morbidity in children from two to 15 years old, during a malaria transmission season in Niakhar, Senegal. Between July and December 2002, 227 malaria attacks occured in 566 children. Only one case of severe malaria was observed and no death has been reported. Our results demonstrate furthermore that easier access to health facilities and to early treatment is playing a key role in malaria control.
我们报告了在塞内加尔尼亚喀尔的一个疟疾传播季节，免费使用卫生设施对2至15岁儿童疟疾发病率的影响。2002年7月至12月期间，566名儿童发生了227起疟疾发作。仅观察到1例重症疟疾，未报告死亡病例。我们的结果进一步表明，更便捷地使用卫生设施和获得早期治疗在疟疾控制中发挥着关键作用。
