Acute respiratory infection (ARI) is one of the leading causes ofchildhood morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics can prevent a largeproportion of deaths caused by ARI. In the 2006-07 SDHS, the prevalence of ARI was estimated byasking mothers whether their children under age five had been ill in the two weeks preceding the survey,with a cough accompanied by short, rapid breathing which the mother considered to be chest-related.These symptoms are compatible with ARI.The SDHS also obtained information on the prevalence and treatment of fever. Fever is asymptom of malaria and other acute infections in children, and it is important that children with fever beevaluated promptly and treated appropriately. This section focuses on presenting basic information fromthe SDHS on the prevalence and treatment response to fever in young children. Additional informationrelevant to efforts in Swaziland to address the problem of malaria is discussed in Chapter 12.Child Health | 131
