Abstract

Data mining a process for assembling and analyzing data into useful information can be applied as rapid measures for malaria diagnosis. In this research work we implemented (knowledge-base) inference engine that will help in mining sample patient records to discover interesting relationships in malaria related cases. The computer programming language employed was the C#.NET programming language and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 served as the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). The results obtained showed that knowledge-based data mining system was able to successfully mine out and diagnose possible diseases corresponding to the selected symptoms entered as query. With this finding, we believe the development of a Knowledge-based data mining system will not only be beneficial towards the diagnosis of malaria related cases in a more cost effective means but will assist in crucial decision making and new policy formulation in the malaria endemic regions.
