The relationship between the haemoglobin concentration and the haematocrit in Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
- Abstract:
-
BACKGROUND: Malaria is a very important cause of anaemia in tropical countries. Anaemia is assessed either by measurement of the haematocrit or the haemoglobin concentration. For comparisons across studies, it is often necessary to derive one measure from the other.
