GSTM1 and malaria: In contrast to our approach for Cambodia, where malaria is mostly a disease of adults and where background rates of anaemia and malaria-related anaemia are lower [18], we placed much emphasis on the risk of young paediatric patients developing CSA following ACT + PQ because they have lower pre-treatment Hb concentrations and greater falls in Hb, and so a higher risk of CSA compared to older children.
