  1. Summary statistics are median (interquartile range)
  2. ALT alanine aminotransferase, AST aspartate aminotransferase, CRP C-reactive protein, DOI day of illness, HCT hematocrit, OFI other febrile illnesses, WBC white blood cell
  3. *Maximum HCT change was calculated by maximum HCT level at the acute phase (DOI 4 to 7) minus baseline HCT, then divided by baseline HCT. Baseline HCT was the minimum HCT level within DOI 1 to 3
