Abstract
The Belgian Paediatric Malaria Treatment Guideline 2024 addresses the need for early diagnosis and specialized care in managing paediatric malaria, a potentially life-threatening disease. It outlines the protocol developed for the treatment of malaria in children in Belgium, shaped by an extensive collaborative process among paediatric infectious disease specialists across the country. The guideline highlights the importance of early recognition of malaria symptoms and rapid initiation of treatment and the need for specialized advice early onwards.
