Clinical malaria and the potential risk of anaemia among preschool-aged children: a population-based study of the 2015 –2016 Malawi micronutrient survey

Thus, elimination of malaria-causing parasites from the PSC ’s blood should be rapid and complete in order to prevent the progression of uncomplicated malaria to a chronic infection that can lead to the development of malaria-related anaemia.
