In tropical Africa, malaria is an important infectious disease and is still thought to be the main cause of febrile episodes in children. In addition, in Tanzania where malaria is considered to be highly endemic, D'Acremont and coworkers refer to recent data indicating that only 10%-40% of under-5year-old patients with fever have malarial parasites in rural areas [19] . Examining symptomatic individuals with recent history of travel to countries where the H1N1 virus was circulating indicated that other respiratory viruses such as rhinovirus, coronavirus, or parainfluenzavirus were responsible for influenza-like illness [20] . Therefore, not surprisingly, yet often ignored, there is simultaneous transmission of different respiratory viruses and bacteria in addition to malaria that lead to febrile illnesses in Africa and elsewhere in the tropics.	./cache/cord-336168-hvp13ell.txt	./txt/cord-336168-hvp13ell.txt
