Increased levels of Plasmodium spp parasitemia (cycle threshold [Ct] ≤ 20) are associated with greater survival across age groups among a cohort of patients with laboratory-confirmed Ebola virus infection. A, Percentage of Ebola virus–infected patients coinfected with Plasmodium spp by age group and Plasmodium Ct value as a proxy for parasite load. B, Patients were stratified by age and Plasmodium Ct value (as a proxy for parasite load). No patients aged ≥65 years with Plasmodium Ct values ≤20 were present in this cohort. C, Patients were stratified by age, Plasmodium Ct value (as a proxy for parasite load), and Ebola virus Ct value (as a proxy for viral load), and survival rate was calculated among these groups. Patients aged <5 years were excluded from multistratified analyses due to limited sample sizes across categories preventing accurate survival estimates. Gray bars: Plasmodium spp negative; blue bars: Plasmodium spp Ct value >20–<30; red bars: Plasmodium spp Ct value ≤20. Numbers above bars indicate number of patients in this group.
