Phenotypic characterization of blood MO from healthy malaria-exposed individuals and patients with acute uncomplicated malaria.

The phenotypes of blood MO from healthy malaria-exposed individuals and from the 2 groups of patients with acute uncomplicated clinical malaria attacks were determined by flow cytometry. Values correspond to the mean percentages ±1SD and the differences between results were tested by non-parametric 1 way median test between healthy malaria exposed individuals (n = 10) and Group 1 (n = 19) or Group 2 patients (n = 57). Significance levels are indicated by star symbols as follows: ** when p<0.01 and >0.001, and *** when p<0.0001.
Results of statistical tests between the two groups of patients are indicated by § when p< = 0.01
