Anti-Malaria Guide

"Anti Malaria Guide" Or A-MG Is a simple application whose purpose is to facilitate the calculation of the dosage of antimalarial drugs in emergency situations.

It can be used by all health workers.

Malaria is a serious disease and its management must be rapid.

This application have 3 parts:

-A homepage;

-A page intended for the calculation of anti-malarial agents commonly used as artesunate 20 mg combined with lumefantrine 120 mg, artemether injection, quinine injection ;

-A page for calculating the dosage of solutes commonly used in case of severe malaria: paracetamol injection, Ringer lactates to rehydrate if necessary, the serum glucose 10% in case of hypoglycemia, diazepam in case of convulsion.

The basics of calculating dosages:

-Artesunate + artemether 20/120 mg is depending on age;

-Artemether due to 3.2 mg / kg Then 1.6 mg / kg;

-The Ringer is given because of 100 mg / kg;

-Glucose serum due to 3.5 ml / kg;

-Diazepam due to 0.5 mg / kg;

-Paracetamol: here each age group is capped.
