Table II.

Median values (95% confidence limits) for platelet count, red blood cell count, hemoglobin level, hematocrit, lymphocyte count, and white blood cell count in patients infected with P. vivax and P. falciparum in Thailand, in 2001.^*

	P. vivax^†		P. falciparum^†
	Gametocytemic	Nongametocytemic	Gametocytemic	Nongametocytemic
PLT	109 (93–119)^*	172.5 (153–189)^*	121 (47–267)	114 (104–125)
RBC	4.54 (4.43–4.64)	4.75 (4.68–4.88)	3.91 (3.4–4.25)^*	4.6 (4.5–4.72)^*
HGB	12.7 (12.5–13.0)	13.4 (13.0–13.8)	10.6 (8.1–13.1)^*	13.1 (12.7–13.4)^*
HCT	38.4 (37.4–39.2)	40.4 (39.4–41.5)	32.5 (25.2–37.7)^*	38.9 (38.1–40.2)^*
LYM	1.5 (1.4–1.7)	1.75 (1.6–2.0)	1.9 (1.3–2.6)^*	1.4 (1.3–1.5)^*
WBC	6.4 (6.0–6.9)	6.3 (5.9–6.8)	6.7 (4.5–8.5)	6.1 (5.6–6.4)

Note that the distributions do not separate males and females and so are typically bimodal (see text). PLT indicates platelet count (thousands/μl); RBC indicates red blood cells (millions/μl); HGB indicates hemoglobin (g/dl); HCT indicates hematocrit (%); LYM indicates lymphocytes (thousands/μl); WBC indicates white blood cells (thousands/μl).

^†

Values with * denote Mann-Whitney U-test, P < 0.0004 for comparisons between patients with and without gametocytemia.
