When Jane Moraa who works at the fish eateries along Lwang'ni beach in Kisumu developed a fever, she assumed it was malaria and bought over-the-counter anti-malarial drugs without medical tests.
Moraa was later found to be suffering from typhoid fever whose symptoms- fever, headache, weakness and fatigue, muscle ache, sweating, dry cough, loss of appetite, weight loss and stomach pain- are easy to confuse with those of malaria.
