Iron indices during subclinical malaria. Plasma concentrations of (a) ferritin or (b) transferrin (Tf) determined by ELISA. Dot plots show individual patient parameters. Red lines represent medians. P-values for comparisons between uninfected controls (Ctrl) and infected children at enrollment were determined by Mann–Whitney test. P-values for comparisons between infected children at days 1 and 35 were determined by Wilcoxon matched-pair test. ‘ns’ indicates P > 0.05
