Methaemoglobin values in patients with complicated malaria admitted to an Intensive Care Unit in Berlin. Methaemoglobin values retrieved retrospectively from patients admitted with malaria to the Intensive Care Unit at the Charité University Hospital in Berlin (n = 13). All patients had criteria for complicated malaria, with 8 patients having cerebral malaria (lines) and 5 patients having other criteria, as shown in Table 1 (dashed lines). The mean MetHb values was calculated for each day while patients were in the ICU and lengths of the lines corresponds to time in the ICU. Mean value of MetHb levels for the day on admission was 1.29% (SD: 0.38) for all measurements, and 1.36% (SD:0.36) for cerebral malaria while it was 1.14% (SD:0.36) for non-cerebral malaria (NS).
