Abstract
A retrospective study based on paediatric ward registers was conducted in the Ugandan districts of Hoima and Kabale, which are areas of stable and unstable malaria transmission, respectively. The records of Hoima hospital from 1990 to 2001 and of Kabale hospital from 1994 to 2000 were reviewed and the initial diagnoses for all young children (i.e. those aged <5 years) were noted. Admissions for malaria and for anaemia were significantly more common among the young children admitted to Hoima hospital than among those admitted to Kabale hospital (P<0.0001 for each). Over the study periods, there were significant linear increases in the numbers of young children admitted with malaria or anaemia, at both Hoima hospital (with chi2 values of 25.6 and 191.5, respectively; P<0.0001 for each) and at Kabale hospital (with chi2 values of 31.6 and 29.0, respectively; P<0.0001 for each). Anaemia was not an important cause of mortality at Kabale hospital during the period reviewed. As in other sites in the East African highlands, the increasing malaria-related morbidity and mortality at Kabale hospital between 1994 and 2000 could be explained by the general increase in air temperatures over the same period. This increase may have made the lo...Continue Reading
