Discrimation of malaria, dengue and co-infection groups by laboratory measures. Differentiation between dengue vs malaria, dengue vs co-infection and malaria vs co-infection groups were done by laboratory measures—HB haemoglobin, HT haematocrit, PTL platelets, AST aspartate aminotransferase, ALT alanine aminotransferase—through multinominal regression analysis with calculation of odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence intervals (CI), represented by the icons and bars, respectively (a). Red icons represent OR adjusted for age and gender and blue icons were unadjusted (univariate) (a).
