From: The role of previously unmeasured organic acids in the pathogenesis of severe malaria
Plasma concentrations of organic acids in severe malaria, stratified by disease outcome. Comparisons are drawn between patients who survived to discharge (n=99) and those who died (n=39). For all four acids, plasma concentrations were significantly higher among patients who later died, by unpaired t test of log-transformed concentrations (P<0.001 for LA, HPLA and β-HBA; P=0.001 for α-HBA). Error bars represent medians and interquartile ranges. Abbreviations: LA lactic acid, HPLA hydroxyphenyllactic acid, α-HBA α-hydroxybutyric acid, β-HBA β-hydroxybutyric acid
