No full textRespiratory symptoms and signs are reported in
4% to 18% of the cases with uncomplicated
Plasmodium falciparum malaria and are also a major
feature in severe malaria. Plasmodium vivax malaria
seldom results in pulmonary damage, and pulmonary
complications are exceedingly rare. We report

No full textVaccine preventable diseases still weigh on mortality in the world and especially in children population. Vaccine protection is not uniformly guaranteed being
rural areas and low- income population the most disadvantaged. Aim of the study was to verify the children coverage in a rural district in Mozambique where government
fixed and mobile health facilities are supported by an Italian ONG (Medicus Mundi Italia). On a sample of 787 accessing children born from 2015 to 2017,
the proportion of fully vaccinated (for BCG, Polio 1-3, DTP/HepB/Hib 1-3, PCV 1-3, measles first dose) by one year of age was 80.4% (95% CI 76.6-83.7), by 23 months it was 91% (95% CI 88-93%). However, in a contest where health care can be not easily accessible, the rate of missed opportunities of vaccination (children accessing to the health service at an age proper for administration of a certain vaccine dose but not vaccinated by the evaluating health operator) (MOV) was high for the intramuscular measles second dose (54%). Such a risk was higher in fixed health centre, lower during activity of mobile equipe (79% vs 46%; p value 0.01). Therefore, despite good immunization coverage, there are still margins to intensify strategies for not missing children vaccine opportunities
