Demographic and baseline clinical characteristics of the randomized (ITT) population.

*Three patients in the CDA group had parasites identified at screening, were enrolled, randomized and treated, though later examination revealed that the parasites were P. malariae and P. ovale. Consequently, their P. falciparum parasite counts were zero. **At some sites, screening hemoglobin level was determined using a rapid test (Haemacue, Downfield, UK), with subsequent checking using a coulter counter. Twelve subjects in the CDA group and five in the AL group had haemacue tests of ≥70 g/L with subsequent coulter counter hemoglobin values of <70 g/L. Coulter counter values are reported here.
