| Disease | No. of patients | Hb concn (g/dl)a | Age (yr)a | Parasite density (103/μl)a |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UM | 38 | 9.5 (2.3-4.9) | 4.0 (1.0-12.0) | 70.1 (3.74-4,340.2) |
| SA | 55 | 3.9 (8.1-12.2)b | 2.0 (0.5-9.0)b | 52.2 (2.75-567.3)c |
| CM | 52 | 7.6 (5.1-12.7)b | 4.0 (0.5-12.0)b | 98.1 (2.61-1,872.4)c |
a
Values are reported as medians (minimum to maximum values).
b
Values are significant at a P of <0.0001 compared to those for UM subjects (one-way analysis of variance).
c
Values are not significant at a P of 0.251 compared to those for UM subjects (one-way analysis of variance).
