The prognostic utility of bedside assessment of adults hospitalized with malaria in Myanmar: a retrospective analysis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Understanding the dynamics of malaria transmission in diverse endemic settings is key for designing and implementing locally adapted and sustainable control and elimination strategies. A parasitological and epidemiological survey was conducted in September-October 2012, as a baseline underlying a 3-year popu...
