Girl getting tested for malaria

Caption

At the initial enrollment visit, all cohort children received a three-day course of an antimalarial medicine to clear any existing malaria parasite infection. A second round of parasite clearance took place one year later. If at any point during the study, a child tested positive for malaria, he or she was treated with an antimalarial medicine.
