Comparison of clinical, parasitological and laboratory parameters of patients with rapid or slow parasite clearance.

ΔPatients with prolonged PCT more likely to have higher parasitemia than rest of study patients, p<0.0001; ΔΔp = 0.086 for rapid PCT patients compared to rest of study patients; *p = 0.005 comparing rapid PCT group with rest of study patients; **p = 0.033 for rapid PCT patients compared to rest of study patients.
