Synthesis and Validation of a Weatherproof Nursery Design That Eliminates Tropical Evening-Fever Syndrome in Neonates

<table>Comparative relationship between vital signs of two neonates nursed in the control ward and Lab-1. Baby “control” weighed 2250 g and spent all the indicated 6 days in the control ward. Baby “control-Lab-1” weighed 2450 g, admitted in the control ward but transferred to Lab-1 just before midnight on 11 April. HR is heart rate (pulse/minute). RR is respiration rate (cycle/minute). T-Line is the time at which “baby control-Lab-1” was transferred. WS-Line is the critical temperature above which baby must be water-sponged as practiced at FMC-Nguru.</table>
