dc.description.abstract
A 4-year-old male presented at the emergency room for a 4-day-history of fever, diarrhoea and vomiting. The family had returned from Senegal 1 day before presenting to our clinic. None of the family had taken malaria prophylaxis.
Because of a recent travel history, investigations to rule out malaria were initiated. These included a rapid antigen detection test (RDT; BinaxNow® Malaria, Abbott, USA) and microscopy examination.
