The goal is to determine, via population PK modelling, the optimal azithromycin dose in severe malaria, and investigate associations between azithromycin exposure and potential mechanisms PKPD using change in CRP, a putative marker of sepsis at 72 hours (continuous) and microbiological cure (seven-day) (binary), alone and as a composite with seven-day survival, while providing preliminary data on longer-term survival (to day 90). Here, CRP is linked to Sepsis.
