Yazoume Ye, Nyovani Madise, Robert Ndugwa, Sam Ochola, Robert W Snow Malaria Journal 2009, 8:160 (15 July 2009) The study could not demonstrate any evidence of malaria in Korogocho, a slum in the centre of Nairobi. Fever was a common complaint and often treated as malaria with anti-malarial drugs. Strategies, including testing for malaria parasites to reduce the inappropriate exposure of poor communities to expensive anti-malarial drugs provided by clinical services and drug vendors, should be a priority for district planners.
