Malaria, Uncomplicated Clinical Trial
Official title:
Assessment of Adherence to a 6-Dose Regimen of Coartem for Treatment of Uncomplicated Malaria in Children Under 5 Years in Tanzania
This is a study of how well caregivers of children with malaria adhere to the recommended regimen for lumefantrine-artemether (LA). Children were randomly assigned to either a group receiving directly observed treatment in hospital or to a group treated at home by the routine caregiver (typically, patient's mother). Clinical/parasitologic, hematologic, pharmacologic and qualitative parameters were monitored over a 28-day follow-up period and are used to evaluate drug adherence.
