We have used a common protocol in order to prospectively follow vivax malaria patients admitted to two distinct reference centers located in Brazil and India, aiming to comprehensively characterize and compare the clinical complications of P. The influence of these factors could already be observed by comparing the descriptions of clinical epidemiology of complications associated with this infection from different sites, showing that in areas of higher transmission intensities, children are the most frequently affected population [18, 19, 39, 40] , while in areas of moderate and low intensities, adults contribute more to the proportion of severe cases [7, 14, 41] . ./cache/cord-001617-ff3j7i7i.txt ./txt/cord-001617-ff3j7i7i.txt
