Anemia of Persistent Malarial Parasitemia in Nigerian Children [PDF]

Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 2001
One hundred children aged 0-60 months, 63 males and 47 females, were studied prospectively over a period of 9 months to determine the effect of persistent malaria parasitemia on their packed cell volume (PCV) levels. Thick and thin blood films for parasite identification and counts were done.
