Diagnosis: CM1, sequestration only; CM2, sequestration and fibrin deposition; CM3, coma with no malarial pathology in brain; CM6, severe malarial anemia; CM9, pneumonia and incidental parasitemia.
% PV is the percentage of parasitized cerebral microvessels in autopsy tissue sections used for diagnosis of CM (40).
Two hundred microvessels from each patient were scored for the presence of thrombin, sequestration (IRBC), neither, or both.
Cells with 0 counts made the odds ratio (OR) for those samples impossible to calculate. Estimated OR (eOR) were computed by adding 1 to all cells with a 0 count.
Boldface P values are <0.05.
