We performed a retrospective, nonprobability sampling study using sera samples from healthy individuals and from patients admitted at the Hôpital Principal de Dakar, Sénégal. The cohort included 17 and 27 subjects diagnosed with NCM and CM respectively, and 18 healthy controls (CT) (Table 1). The three groups of individuals were comparable in age and gender, and were mainly composed of adults (Table 1). Subjects below 15 years of age included six children aged 5–13 diagnosed with NCM. Several clinical and blood parameters existed but were not recorded for all the individuals preventing reliable statistical analyses. Available data showed, as expected, hemoglobin levels comparable in the CT and NCM individuals while significantly lower in the CM patients (Table 1). Additionally, parasitemia was comparable between the NCM and CM groups (Table 1). Regarding organ defect in the CM group, kidney failure was the most frequent (13/27) followed by liver, hematologic and respiratory malfunction, while hemodynamic failure was rare (Table 1). All the NCM patients were successfully treated, while 9/27 CM subjects died.
