Comparison of CRP expression on uninfected normocytes and reticulocytes population in Sabah patients. CRP and CD47 expression levels, expressed as MFI, in uninfected normocytes and reticulocytes in malaria patients with falciparum (a) or vivax (b) infection. All comparisons for CRPs expression between normocytes and reticulocytes were statistically significant using Wilcoxon signed-rank nonparametric tests (p < 0.05). Boxplot’s lower and upper hinges represent first and third quartiles with median line indicated across the box. Whisker lines correspond to highest and lowest values no further than 1.5 interquartile range from the hinges whereas dot points beyond whisker lines are outliers
