High incidence of asymptomatic malara infections in a birth cohort of children less than one year of age in Ghana, detected by multicopy gene polymerase chain reaction
Abstract
The incidence of Plasmodium falciparum infection has been followed in a birth cohort of 71 infants in southern Ghana, an area of perennial malaria transmission. Parasite DNA detection established the presence of a high rate of infection in newborns (13.6%), a low level of infection from two to 26 weeks (1.5-9.7%) and a steadily increasing parasite rate from 26 weeks of age. The median age to first infection was 42 weeks. Five cases of fever (temperature > or = 37.5 degrees C) and parasite density greater than 1,000 parasites/microl of blood, all in children more than 18 weeks of age, were considered possible cases of clinical malaria. The risk of infection was almost three times higher in the wet season than in the dry season and increased significantly from the age of 18 weeks. The level of malaria-specific IgG at birth was positively correlated with risk of infection in children 6-12 months of age, indicating that maternally derived anti-malarial IgG is correlated with exposure to malaria infection. There was no association between malaria-specific IgG at birth and risk of infection in children 0-6 months of age. However, infants do appear to possess mechanisms to limit parasite growth and a role for maternal antibody cannot be ruled out.

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.
