Modelling the Impact of Misdiagnosis and Treatment on the Dynamics of Malaria Concurrent and Co-infection with Pneumonia

Abstract

Incidences of misdiagnosis of diseases with similar symptoms as malaria has increased lately due to the increasing levels of endemicity of these diseases and their co- infection with malaria. In this paper a mathematical model for the impact of misdiagnosis and treatment of pneumonia as malaria has been developed and analyzed. The dynamics
