This study investigated children with malaria (serious parasitic disease involving high fever, flu-like symptoms, and iron deficiency) who were also iron deficient who were treated with both antimalarial medication and iron in order to analyze the safety and effectiveness of these treatments when administered either concurrently or whether delayed administration of iron would be a more successful mode of treatment.
