Blood transfusion trial could save children from deadly malaria
NCT ID NCT05711485
Summary
This study is testing whether giving a whole blood transfusion helps children survive severe malaria when they also have dangerously low platelet counts. Researchers in Zambia will randomly assign 132 children to either receive the transfusion or not, then track their recovery. The goal is to see if this common treatment actually improves survival rates for this life-threatening condition.
