Malaria continues to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children aged 5 years or younger in Tanzania. Children who develop mild disease can rapidly progress to severe malaria (cerebral malaria with convulsions) and even death, because of mismanagement, delays and inappropriate drug therapy in the remote areas where primary health care facilities are inaccessible or unavailable. The threat is particularly severe in those who are unable to take oral medications.
