Summary
The general objective of the study is to answer to the question: "Is the current dose of AL less efficacious in the severely malnourished compared to the non-severely malnourished children, and is PK in cause?" We aim to assess whether the current treatment dose is adequate for children with severe acute malnutrition, and we hope results will guide further recommendations for malaria treatment in this specific population.
