Malaria and typhoid are not the same diagnosis.
One is caused by a parasite. The other by a bacterium. They are treated differently. Testing for one does not confirm the other.
And yet, every day in Nigeria, patients are taking antibiotics for a disease nobody confirmed they have.
This is how antimicrobial resistance grows quietly.
Know the difference. Get tested. See a doctor.
