A recent study in Burkina Faso showed that asymptomatic malarial infections in young children in high-prevalence areas, measured by the presence of serum HRP2 and the absence of fever, had an additive effect to elevated AGP and CRP on serum ferritin; this resulted in inaccurate estimates of iron deficiency prevalence when only AGP and CRP were considered(16). Here, ATP5MK is linked to Iron deficiency anemia.
