Anemia Severity
Among Malaria Positive Cases
Key Findings
- •The majority of malaria-positive cases fall into the Non-anemic category, representing 63.3% of the selected cohort.
- •1.5% of the positive cases present with Severe Anemia, highlighting an urgent clinical risk factor associated with these infections.
- •Identifying the overlap between malaria and anemia severity is crucial for targeted blood-transfusion planning and antimalarial triage.
