Breath test for malaria diagnosis in Ethiopia
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new, non-invasive way to diagnose malaria by collecting and analyzing your breath. If you have a fever and are at least 12 years old, you may be able to help researchers see if this breath test works well.
