Baseline Characteristics of Plasmodium vivax–Infected Patients Enrolled in the Clinical Drug Efficacy Study, Ratanakiri, Cambodia, 2014

Characteristic	Relocated Patients (n = 20)	Nonrelocated Patients (n = 20)
Sex, patients, no.
Male	11	16
Female	9	4
Age, y	27.5 (15–52)	27.1 (16–44)
Weight, kg	52.6 (42–64)	54.8 (40–70)
Initial asexual parasitemia level, parasites/μLa,c	11090 (400–30000)	5559 (100–19000)
Gametocytemia density, gametocytes/µLb,c	1354 (0–5500)	244 (0–1600)
Gametocytes detected, patients, no. (%)	17 (85)	16 (80)

Data are mean (range), unless otherwise indicated. The mean initial proportion of ring-stage parasites among all 40 patients was 51.5% (range, 0%–100%), and >95% of parasites in 8 patients (20%) were ring stage.

^a P< .05. In both groups, the majority of patients (80% and 85%, respectively) had gametocytes detected by microscopy at inclusion.

^b P < .05.

^cThe initial asexual parasitemia levels were correlated with gametocyte densities (r = 0.603; P < .0001).
