Malaria treatment-seeking behaviour and recovery from malaria in a highland area of Kenya

BACKGROUND: Malaria epidemics in highland areas of Kenya cause significant morbidity and mortality. METHODS: To assess treatment-seeking behaviour for malaria in these areas, a questionnaire was administered to 117 randomly selected households in the highland area of Kipsamoite, Kenya. Self-reported...
