Cerebral malaria is a significant cause of childhood morbidity in our region.
The challenges of effective management include time and quality of treatment.
The study appraised the health care seeking behavior of caregivers of sick children who developed cerebral malaria, in Zaria, northwestern Nigeria.
Caregivers indentified were parents 29 (87.9%) and grandparents 4 (12.1%).
Most of them were in the upper social classes.
Health care options utilized before presentation at our facility were formal health facility 24 (72.7%), patent medicine seller 12 (36.4%), home treatment 10 (30.3%), and herbal concoction 6 (18.2%) with majority 24 (72.7%) using more than one option.
Antimalarial therapy was instituted in 25 (75.6%) of the cases.
Mortality was significantly associated with the use of herbal concoction, treatment at a formal health facility and patent medicine seller, multiple convulsions, age less than 5 years, and noninstitution of antimalarial therapy before presentation.
The study showed use of inappropriate health care options by caregivers and highlighted the need to pursue an awareness drive among caregivers on the use of health care options.
