Article Synopsis
- Positive direct antiglobulin tests (DATs) were found in a study on post-artesunate delayed hemolysis (PADH), but the relationship between DAT positivity and PADH is not clear.
- In a 7-year study of 337 severe malaria patients treated with artesunate, 54.3% of those who had DAT results experienced positive results, yet this did not correlate with the occurrence of PADH.
- The findings suggest that DAT positivity is not a reliable marker for PADH and should not prompt the use of corticosteroids in treatment.
