Table 6

Age and haematological characteristics of pregnant women with coinfection who attended ANC at Tamale Teaching Hospital ().

G6PDd = glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. ^aHb was estimated in the pregnant women at the first time of ANC visit. Percentages were calculated based on the total study subjects of 3,127. Percentages were calculated based on total coinfection for each column.
