a. A presumptive malaria case is defined as any patient prescribed the recommended firstline antimalarial/s, despite no confirmatory diagnosis. A clinical malaria case is defined as any patient prescribed the recommended firstline antimalarial/s, despite testing negative for malaria via a diagnostic test.
b. Presumptive/clinical/confirmed malaria cases given the recommended firstline antimalarial/s and NMFI not treated with antimalarials. In this calculation, presumptive and clinical malaria diagnoses in which the recommended firstline antimalarial/s is prescribed are assumed to be correct.
c. In this calculation, presumptive and clinical diagnosis of malaria are assumed to be incorrect (non-compliant with protocol)
