Title
A randomised controlled trial of oral iron therapy for treatment of postmalaria
iron-deficiency anaemia in Malawian children com paring
immediate post-discharge versus delayed treatment on iron uptake and
haematological response
Objectives
To determine whether delaying oral iron therapy in post-malaria iron
deficiency anaemia for at least two weeks improves iron absorption and
reduces the risk of iron-induced intestinal inflammation
