Mean ± SD parasitaemia, Hb, HCT and RBC indices in relation to G6PD status among malaria suspected outpatients in Gambella hospital, southwest Ethiopia, 2013

G6PD Status	Parasite density/log10 μl	Hb (g/dl)	HCT (%)	MCV (fl)	MCH (pg)	MCHC (%)
Normal	2.97 ± 1.22	12.44 ± 2.70	37.86 ± 8.609	85.51 ± 6.68	26.87 ± 5.58	31.98 ± 2.50

p-value	0.000	0.006	0.005	0.834	0.201	0.149

G6PD: glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase; Hb: haemoglobin concentration; HCT: haematocrit; MCV: mean corpuscular volume; MCH: mean corpuscular haemoglobin; MCHC: mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration; RBC: red blood cell; SD: standard deviation.
