Baseline Characteristics of the Study Participants

Variable	Microscopy Corrected (Day 3 Follow-Up), n = 60
Weight (kg), mean (SD)	54.1 (16.8)
Gender (male), n (%)	28 (46.6%)
Gender (female), n (%)	32 (53.3%)
Body temperature on day 0, °C, mean (SD)	37.3 °C S.D. ± 1.3
Body temperature on day 3, °C, mean (SD)	36.7 °C S.D. ± 0.7
Parasitaemia (µL) on day 0* (95% CI)	12,403 (8242–13,565)
Median age in years (males)	22.5
Age range in years (males)	(3–82)
Median age in years (females)	27.3
Age range in years (females)	(5–74)

Notes: °C: degree Celsius; parasitemia*: geometric mean parasite density (asexual parasites/µL); *p < 0.001, the mean was significantly different.

Abbreviations: n, number of patients; SD, standard deviation; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval.
