Table 6

Association between malaria and anemia.

P. malariae	Anemia	(%)	Total
Yes	7	(33.3)	21
No	98	(9.7)	1006
Total	105	(10.2)	1027

The prevalence of anemia was 4.6-fold higher in patients with P. malariae (33.3%) than in those without (9.7%) malariae species infection (OR = 4.633 95% CI [1.826−11.752]; 𝑃=0.003).
