Abstract

Points• Are afebrile malaria infections truly asymptomatic, benign, or even beneficial to the individual?The evidence suggests the contrary.• So-called "asymptomatic" malaria infections are associated with recurrent episodes of symptomatic parasitemia, chronic anemia, maternal and neonatal mortality, co-infection with invasive bacterial disease, cognitive impairment, and ongoing transmission of the parasite.• "Asymptomatic" malaria infections have significant health and societal consequences, and we propose that they should be renamed "chronic" malaria infections.• Targeting chronic malaria infections poses major scientific, operational, and ethical challenges.• We call for the malaria community to work with malaria control and elimination programs to target all malaria infections, irrespective of their density or presentation.The operational challenges to detect and treat chronic infections are significant, but accomplishing this is likely to result in substantial gains to both the individual and society.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
