Previous studies showed that referrals, no prior history of malaria, body temperature above 38.5 °C, white blood cell count > 10 × 109/mL, presence of schizonts or gametocytemia in peripheral blood smears, and albumin levels of < 3.5 g/dL were associated with increased risks of severe malaria in Thailand [26,33,34]. The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is malaria.
