Zusammenfassung:	Reduced erythrocyte concentration of 2, 3, diphosphoglycerate in hypophosphatemia can further impair the tissue oxygen delivery and vital organ function in severe malaria8. [...] hypophosphatemia contributes to and in some cases may even aggravate a variety of clinical and laboratory abnormalities associated with severe malaria. [...] we wish to highlight that alteration in calcium, phosphate and magnesium metabolism can occur in patients with malaria.
