Malaria incidence in children in South-West Burkina Faso: comparison of active and passive case detection methods. by Alfred B Tiono, David T Kangoye, Andrea M Rehman, Désiré G Kargougou, Youssouf Kaboré, Amidou Diarra, Esperance Ouedraogo, Issa Nébié, Alphonse Ouédraogo, Brenda Okech, Paul Milligan, Sodiomon B Sirima

“…<h4>Results</h4>Incidence of malaria (Fever with parasitaemia ≥5,000/µL) was 1.18 episodes/child/year in the active cohort and 0.89 in the passive cohort (rate ratio 1.32, 95% CI 1.13-1.54). Malaria cases in the passive cohort were more likely to have high grade fever; but parasite densities were similar in the two groups. …”
