Cerebral malaria (CM) is a fatal syndrome found commonly in children less than 5 years old in Sub-saharan Africa and Asia. The retinal signs associated with CM are known as malarial retinopathy (MR), and they include highly specific retinal lesions such as whitening and hemorrhages. Detecting these lesions allows the detection of CM with high specificity. Up to 23% of CM, patients are over-diagnosed due to the presence of clinical symptoms also related to pneumonia, meningitis, or others. Therefore, patients go untreated for these pathologies, resulting in death or neurological disability. It is essential to have a low-cost and high-specificity diagnostic technique for CM detection, for which We developed a method based on transfer learning (TL). Models pre-trained with TL select the good quality retinal images, which are fed into another TL model to detect CM. This approach shows a 96% specificity with low-cost retinal cameras.
