Summary Points
What you need to know
• Co-infections with malaria affect up to half of children in endemic countries and around one in seven travellers with malaria
• A positive diagnostic test does not mean malaria is the only, or even a contributing, cause of current illness
• In settings where resources are constrained, limited diagnostic capacity can influence the diagnosis of co-infections, so vigilance is required for clinical features atypical for malaria
