2 CURRENT MALARIA SITUATION IN TANZANIA According to Tanzania HIV and Malaria indicator survey (THMIS) 2011, Malaria prevalence has declined in Tanzania from 18% in 2007 to 10% in In addition, Malaria has dropped by almost half within five years among children under 5years, it likely that the prevalence among adults is even lower Prevalence of Malaria in Children 6 59 months, 2007/ Prevalence of Malaria in Children 6 59 months, 2011/12 Kagera 41. Geita 29.5% Mwanza 31.4% Shinyanga 29.5% Mara 30.3% Simiyu 29.5% Arusha 0.4% Kilimanjaro Kagera 9% Geita 33% Mwanza 19% Shinyanga 7% Mara 26% Simiyu 3% Arusha Kilimanjaro Kigoma 19.6% Katavi 1 Rukwa 1 Tabora 9.7% Mbeya 3% Singida 6% Iringa 2.6% Dodoma 12.5% Manyara Morogoro 15.7% Tanga 13.9% Pemba 0.8% Zanzibar 0.8% Dar es Salaam 1.2% Pwani 20.8% Kigoma 26% Katavi 6% Rukwa 5% Tabora 9% Mbeya Singida Iringa Dodoma 3% Manyara Morogoro 13% Tanga 6% Pemba Zanzibar Dar es Salaam 4% Pwani 10% Prevalence of Malaria 0.4% - 9.9% 10% % 20% % 30% % 40% % Njombe 2.6% Ruvuma 23.9% Lindi 35.5% Mtwara 33.6% Source: National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and ORC Macro Tanzania HIV and Malaria Indicator Survey Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Njombe 2% Ruvuma 12% Lindi 26% Mtwara 17% Recommendation: Not all fever is Malaria. It is important to diagnose correctly and prescribe the right treatment

3 TEST BEFORE YOU TREAT USING mrdt Why is it important to test for Malaria? The old policy said clinical diagnosis was acceptable. Now, because of declining prevalence, a high proportion of fever patients do not have malaria. Clinical diagnosis will incorrectly diagnose many patients. The new government policy says that: ALL SUSPECTED MALARIA CASES SHOULD BE CONFIRMED WITH A BLOOD TEST BEFORE TREATING FOR MALARIA John Provider in Muheza, Tanga. I have many patients everyday who come to me with fever but not all fever is Malaria. I use RDT to test them for correct diagnosis. Mechanism Of Action The mechanism of action is Antigen - Antibody reaction Why mrdt? It is recommended by WHO and MOHSW to be used in Tanzania where Malaria prevelance is declining. Quick and easy to use. Results are obtained between 15 to 25 minutes (depending on the manufacturer). Can be performed by any trained health care provider Reliable High sensitivity (88-99% ). High specificity (95-100%). Helps to rapidly identify patients who might have other serious non-malarial illness Simple yes or no answer for malaria Low-cost Doesn t require electricity or expensive equipment. More profit

4 MAMA FURAHA FEVER CASE MANAGEMENT FOR ALL CASES OF FEVER WITH SUSPECTED MALARIA, TEST WITH mrdt TREAT POSITIVE CASES WITH AN ACT, AND INVESTIGATE FOR OTHER DISEASES Mama Furaha Lives in a malaria endemic area Brings in her 24-month old son who has a history of fever for two days. On examination you find that she is in fair general condition, weighs 20kg, with temperature 39.2 C. The rest of the physical examination is normal. What do you recommend I give her? Request for diagnostic testing to confirm or exclude malaria Why? Many illnesses cause fever and have symptoms common to malaria. When everyone with fever is treated for malaria, drug resistance increases and people with other illnesses do NOT get the right treatment.

5 FEVER CASE MANAGEMENT FEVER CASE MANAGEMENT ALOGARITHM FEVER History of fever in the last 48 hours or axillary temperature 37.5 C Assess patient for: 1. Signs of Severe Malaria or 2. Danger Signs Refer Urgently Very Severe Febrile Disease Parenteral dose of anti-malaria. Give first dose of an appropriate antibiotic Give one dose of paracetamol (38.5 C or above) Perform Malaria RDT IF TEST NEGATIVE Non-Malarial Febrile Illness 1. Investigate other causes of fever and manage accordingly IF TEST POSITIVE Uncomplicated Malaria 1. TREAT with ACTs 2. Investigate other cause of disease 3. Instruct patient to come back immediately if condition worsen or in 3 days if no improvement Danger Signs in Children Ask: Is the child able to drink or breastfeed? Does the child vomit everything? Has the child had convulsions? Look: See if the child is very sleepy /no able to awake Is the child convulsing now? 1. Handbook: IMCI Integrated Management of Childhood Illness, WHO, 2005

6 FEVER CASE MANAGEMENT FEVER CASE MANAGEMENT INVESTIGATE OTHER CAUSE OF DISEASE IN ALL CASES Fever of 37.5 that tested positive or negative with mrdts Ask for Presence of COUGH Give one dose of paracetamol (38.5 C or above) Follow up in 3 days if fever persist If fever is present every day for more than 7 days, refer for assessment Ask for Presence of DIARRHEA Ask if: More than 15 days Blood in the Stool Assess for: Fast Breathing Chest in-drawing REFER Pneumonia Common Cold Diarrhea TREAT Amoxicillin TREAT Paracetamol TREAT ORS & Zinc Normal body temperature 36.5 C 37 C Fever 37.5 C Always refer to a pre-established facility REFER FOR SEVERE MALARIA
