Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Proposal for the study was reviewed and obtained approval on April 04/2018 from the Ethical Review Committee of College Medicine and Health Sciences at Bahir Dar University (protocol number: 088/18–04). Written informed consent was obtained from every parent or guardian for children to participate in the study following the distribution of written information sheets in “Amharic” (both official & study area language) to all parents or guardians. The informed consent process emphasized voluntary participation and consent to participation could be withdrawn at any time, without giving a reason and without affecting their current or future benefits to which the participant was entitled. Ill children were referred to the nearest health institution for appropriate treatment. In addition, no investigation was performed beyond the approved proposal and all data were analyzed anonymously.
