Etiology of severe febrile illness in low- and middle- income countries: a systematic review

Current knowledge and information gaps of the etiology severe febrile illness in low-and middle-income countries

Abstract

With apparent declines in malaria worldwide during the last decade and more widespread use of malaria rapid diagnostic tests, healthcare workers in low-resource areas face a growing proportion of febrile patients without malaria. We sought to describe current knowledge and identify information gaps of the etiology severe febrile illness in low-and middle-income countries.

This is a publication arising from the zoonoses and Emerging Livestock Systems (ZELS) programme.
