Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 279648 0
% of artesunate-amodiaquine treatment failures (early treatment failure+late clinical failure+late parasitological failure) Enrolled patients will be assessed for parasitological (using microscopy) and clinical responses during the 28 days follow-up and treatmnt outcomes will be classified according to the latest WHO protocol (http://www.who.int/malaria/publications/atoz/9789241597531/en/index.html).

At 28 day following treatment
Primary outcome [2] 279649 0
% of adverse events (e.g. weakness, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea etc) in the artesunate-amodiaquine treated patients. All patients will be asked routinely about previous symptoms and about symptoms that have emerged since the previous follow-up visit. All adverse events will be recorded on the case report form.

Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Non-randomised trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Potential patients will be screened for inclusion/exclusion criteria. Once the patient meets all the enrolment criteria and a parent/guardian consented to participate in the study, the patient will be recruited in to the study. All antimalarial treatments will be given by a study team member under supervision. Thereafter, patients are required to undergo regular clinical reassessment. Blood films for parasite counts will be made on days 2, 3 and 7 and then weekly for the remainder of the follow-up period, i.e. on days 14, 21, and 28.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
This is a one arm prospective study in which all eligible patients are given test drug.
Masking / blinding
