The Guidelines cover the diagnosis and treatment of uncomplicated and severe malaria caused by all types of malaria, including in special groups (young children, pregnant women, HIV /AIDS), in travellers (from non-malaria endemic regions) and in epidemics and complex emergency situations. The second edition introduces a new ACT and recommends parasitological confirmation of diagnosis in all patients suspected of having malaria before treating.
