Table 1. Clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with severe malaria and uncomplicated malaria.

Disease	No. of Patients	Hb (g/dl)^T	Age (yr)^T	Parasite Density (10³/µl)^T
CM	45	6.6 (2.5–10.2)^****	3.0 (0.5–10.0)^**	41.4 (2.00–1,296)
SA	56	4.0 (2.1–4.9)^****	2.0 (0.5–12.0)^****	29.8 (0.01–1,411)^*
UM	105	9.35 (6.1–13.0)	4.0 (0.5–13.0)	60.8 (0.137–4,340)

The number of patients in the various disease categories: cerebral malaria (CM), severe malaria anaemia (SA) and uncomplicated malaria (UM) is shown together with haemoglobin (Hb) levels, age stratification and parasite density distribution.
