Cumulative proportions of parasitemic children along increasing parasite counts for fever-free control group, children with both parasitemia and an alternative diagnosis (coinfection), and those with parasitemia only (monoinfection). In children with Plasmodium coinfection, 17% (n = 60/356) and, in those with Plasmodium monoinfection, only 12% (n = 45/372) had a parasite count <10000/µL. At the parasite level of 100000/µL, 100% of the fever-free controls, 64% (n = 226/356) of the coinfected patients, and 54% (n = 192/372) of the monoinfected children had a parasitemia below that value.
