Comparison of msp2 genotyping multiplicity of infection among mild and severe malaria cases generated by two genotyping methods
Genotyping method | Severe malaria (n = 68) | Mild malaria (n = 65) | P value |
---|---|---|---|
PCR and gel electrophoresis | 2.51 (0.97) | 2.74 (0.96) | 0.183 |
Fluorescent PCR and capillary electrophoresis | 2.43 (1.42) | 2.25 (1.24) | 0.435 |
Values are mean (SD) unless otherwise indicated
