This entails early diagnosis and prompt treatment with effective antimalarial medicines. The WHO Guidelines for the treatment of malaria, which were first published in 2006, provide global, evidence-based recommendations on the case management of malaria, targeted mainly at policy-makers at country level, providing a framework for the development of specific and more detailed national treatment protocols that take into account local antimalarial drug resistance patterns and health service capacity in the country. This second edition of the guidelines revisits the recommendations based on updated evidence. The same presentation format from the first edition has been mainly kept based on feedback from the end-users."--Page ix.Nonseral PublicationMalariaChemotherapyAntimalarialsMalariaDiagnosisMalariadrug therapyAntimalarialstherapeutic useAntimalarialsstandardsMalariadiagnosisGuideline.MalariaChemotherapy.Antimalarials.MalariaDiagnosis.Malariadrug therapy.Antimalarialstherapeutic use.Antimalarialsstandards.Malariadiagnosis.616.9362World Health Organization.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966869203321Guidelines for the treatment of malaria4409779UNINA
