The Association Between Malaria Parasite Geometrical Mean and Clinical Spectrum of Severe Disease in a High-Transmission Setting in Eastern Uganda: A Cross-Sectional Study

The Association Between Malaria Parasite Geometrical Mean and Clinical Spectrum of Severe Disease in a High-Transmission Setting in Eastern Uganda: A Cross-Sectional Study

Conclusion: In malaria high-transmission settings of Eastern Uganda, patients with severe malaria had low parasite GMs similar to those in uncomplicated malaria. Thus, malaria parasite GM should not be relied upon to determine disease severity in these settings.
