Abstract: Malaria fever appears to be one of the leading causes of infant mortality in Nigeria. Improper health seeking behavior for effective treatment is still a great concern for health practitioners especially in rural areas. A sample of 200 mothers between ages 15-49 years with children ages 1-5 years in the community participated. The study examined the treatment seeking behavior of mothers for malaria in children under five years of age in Fobur, Jos East LGA, Plateau state, Nigeria.
