From: Early and extensive CD55 loss from red blood cells supports a causal role in malarial anaemia
CD55 levels decrease on RBC of all ages during new onset malarial anaemia. Levels of CD55 on the surface of RBC obtained from children infected with P. falciparum with (open boxes) or without (shaded boxes) anaemia. Each box represents the interquartile range (25 -75%) of values, the whiskers represent 10% and 90% values, the middle line represents median value and the circles represent patients who fell outside the 10% and 90% range. CD55 levels differed significantly on the basis of RBC age and anaemia status. P value indicates significance of relationship to anaemia status.
