Using a descriptive survey design, the prevalence and management practices of malaria and malaria- typhoid co-infection in Unwana South East Nigeria was determined. Two hundred and thirty-six (236) febrile volunteers comprising 104 males and 132 females attending the Medical Centre of Akanu Ibiam Federal polytechnic Unwana, Afikpo Ebonyi state Nigeria participated in this study. Using thick film microscopy and Widal antigen-based agglutination test, one hundred and thirty-seven participants were diagnosed with malaria mono infection while ninety-nine were diagnosed with malaria-typhoid co-infection. Structured questionnaire was used to obtain data on the management practices and attitudes that constitute risk factors to increased incidence of treatment failure of malaria and malaria- typhoid co-infection. The dataset [1] is relevant as a baseline and reference for further research related to factors associated with increased risk of treatment failure and emergence of drug resistance of malaria and malaria-typhoid co-infection in resource poor setting. |
