Dear Rogers W,
In issue 34 Field Exchange, there is an article by Prof Mike Golden and Yvonne Grellety on exactly that subject and a suggested algorithm. You can download the article in html at:

If you would like a print copy of the issue (free), register your details on the ENN website.
Best regards

The normal protocol is to refer to the nearest health facility for further treatment for complicating factors such as TB or HIV/AIDS, etc.
