Demographic and clinical features of the P. vivax patients at the time of enrollment.

Patient characteristics	Values
Total no. of patients (% male)	281 (53.7)
Age in years [median (range)]	17 (3 – 59)
Febrile patients on day 0 (axillary temperature > 37.5 °C) [% (n)]	90.0 (253/281)
Mean temperature (°C) (range)	38.7 (36.0 – 41.0)
Asexual parasite density (/μl) on day 0 [geometric mean (range)] in age group*
3 – 7 (n =21)	5422 (138 – 40040)
8 – 13 (n = 111)	3021 (22–57860)
≥14 (n =149)	2308 (22–58314)
Gametocytemia patients on day 0 [% (n)]*	91.81 (258/281)
Gametocyte density (/μl) on day 0 [geometric mean (range)]	1000 (0 – 10450)

^*Asexual parasite densities compared between two groups. The P values between 3–7 and 8–13 groups, between 3–7 and ≥14 groups, and between 8–13 and ≥14 groups are 0.46, 0.11, and 0.14, respectively (Mann Whitney U test).
