Not all data were available in all patients. qMalPCR, quantitative PCR of falciparum malaria in plasma; severity, disease severity according to WHO classification, see Methods; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; WBC, total white blood cell counts; vWF, von Willebrand factor. *Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed). **Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed)
