G6PD and infection: Table 1 lists their demographic characteristics along with G6PD point-of-care screening, hemoglobin measurements, and malaria blood film examination findings. The prevalence of microscopy positivity for malaria was 6·7% (129/1928), with P. falciparum being the dominant species by a margin of 2:1. P. vivax was found in 53 females, including 11 of 12 mixed species infections (prevalence of 2·6%). A total of 1928 females (93·8%) had hemoglobin levels ≥10g/dL and were included in the study (Fig 1).
