Figure 4. Smear positivity rates for children under 5 years of age at 6 health centers representing regions of very high (Apac, Tororo), moderate (Jinja, Mubende), and relatively low (Kanungu, Kabale) malaria transmission intensity.
Graphs show the proportion of diagnostic tests that were positive for children suspected of having malaria at each site. The diagnostic test was usually microscopy, but an HRP2-based rapid diagnostic test was used in some cases.
