Data for: Monitoring malaria cases presenting to two dispensaries (i.e Pingilikani and Ngerenya) in Kilifi County,Kenya

This dataset contains surveillance data of all detected malaria episodes presenting in two dispensaries in Kilifi County. One dispensary, Ngerenya, is in the north of Kilifi County, an area with low transmission intensity while the other will be in the South, with moderate and high intensity over the years. The project seeks to monitor the frequency and age distribution of malaria episodes, compare the diagnostic accuracy of PCR, blood films and rapid diagnostic tests. This data basically comprises of anthropometric measures, rapid malaria test (RDT), clinical diagnoses and demographics obtained from matching records in the demographic surveillance database.

本数据集收录了基利菲县（Kilifi County）两家基层诊所接诊的全部确诊疟疾病例的监测数据。其中一家名为恩格雷尼亚（Ngerenya）的诊所位于该县北部，该区域疟疾传播强度较低；另一家诊所位于该县南部，该区域历年疟疾传播强度处于中至高水平。本项目旨在监测疟疾病例的发病频率与年龄分布，并对比聚合酶链式反应（PCR）、血涂片与快速诊断检测（RDT）的诊断准确性。本数据集主要包含人体测量指标、疟疾快速检测（RDT）结果、临床诊断信息以及人口统计学资料，所有数据均源自人口监测数据库中的匹配记录。
