Parasite density by microscopy of daily blood samples from each patient
| Parasite ID | Origin | Day 0 | Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6 | Treatment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 (OX007) | Nigeria | 3.2 | 2 | 0.004 | 0.001 | 0.0001 | 0 | ND | Quinine |
| 2 (OX005) | Ghana | 3 | 2.4 | 0.02 | 0 (G)* | 0 (G) | ND | ND | Quinine |
| 3 (OX006) | Kenya | 39* | 25 | 24* | 1.4 | 0.005 | 0.001 | 0 | AS |
| 4 | Nigeria/ Angola |
0.5 | 1.6 | 0.05 | 0.01 | 0.002 | ND | ND | Quinine, AP |
Densities are given as percentage parasitaemia (i.e. percentage of total erythrocytes counted that are infected) (G) denotes presence of gametocytes.
ND - not done, as patient previously discharged.
