RESUMO
This study reported mothers' practices of home management of malaria in their children aged 0-5 years and highlighted the differences between home management of children with complicated malaria and those with uncomplicated malaria. Of the 380 children seen in the study, 112 (29.5%) had complicated malaria. Complicated malaria was associated with the increasing number of days before presentation at a health facility and delay in the use of antimalarials.
