The mean hemoglobin concentration showed a highly significant statistical difference in relation to the type of complications in severe malaria (p=0.00001); it was lowest in those with severe anemia (3.5 g/dL), increasing to 8.2 g/dL in cases of renal failure, to 9 and 9.1 g/dL respectively in hepatitis cases and in prostrated patients, and up to 11.4 and 11.6 g/dL in cerebral malaria and algid malaria patients, respectively ( Table 1 ).
