A review of one year malaria blood film data from a hospital in Yei, South Sudan

Abstract

Although Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) are utilized more frequently today, blood films are still the gold standard for diagnosing malaria. This is an observational study, looking at the experience of His House of Hope and Faith Hospital (HHHF) in Yei, South Sudan, in one calendar year (January to December in 2023) tracking Plasmodium falciparum (PF) and other plasmodium species. We report some simultaneous data using RDT for malaria and data regarding co-infection with Salmonella typhi (Typhoid fever).
