E-drug: Re: Malaria prophylaxis during pregnancy (10) ---------------------------------------------------------- Yes, I agree that we should invest more in making proper - lab. confimed - diagnoses, especially at the health centre level in Developing Countries. Mini-labs" (basic haematology, parasitology of stools and urine) are not expensive and should be available in EVERY health centre. Why is "presumptive malaria" still such a popular diagnosis in the HMIS??
