PCT Parasite Clearance Time
PRR48h Parasite Reduction Rate - ratio between admission count and 48 hours later
PCT95 (hr) the time required to clear 95% of parasites
LL log linear model for best fit
* All samples reported negative by microscopy were positive by RT-PCR and hence PCT was not directly observed by RT-PCR
