Limitation of the study
parasitemia, breast milk
SECONDARY, PARASITEMIA
Most children were breast feeding, so we could not account for IgG taken through breast milk. The roles of other cofounding such as IgGA in breast milk, lactoferritin in breast milk, and fetal Hemoglobin in clearing parasitemia were not adjusted for during this study. We had a challenge with deciding on the appropriate concentration of secondary antibody to be used in the Luminex assay because the original dilution factor in both the protocol and manufacturer’s instruction were not yielding very good results.
