Platelet count (× 10/9l) | P. vivax | P. falciparum | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Hemorrhage (n = 12) | No hemorrhage (n = 28) | Total (n = 40) | Hemorrhage (n = 10) | No hemorrhage (n = 30) | Total (n = 40) | |
≤10 | 1(8.3)a | 0(0) | 1(2.5) | 0(0) | 0(0) | 0(0) |
10–20 | 6(50) | 1(3.6) | 7(17.5) | 5(50) | 5(16.7) | 10(25) |
20–50 | 5(41.7) | 10(35.7) | 15(37.5) | 5(50) | 12(40) | 17(42.5) |
