Calcium and phosphate levels were investigated in 39 children with malaria (six severe and 33 uncomplicated) and in 39 healthy children. Hypocalcaemia (calcium <2.13 mmol/L, adjusted for albumin level) was detected in 23.1% of malaria cases and in 5.1% of controls, and hypophosphataemia (<1 mmol/L) in 38.5% of cases and in 15.4% of controls. Mean (SD) calcium levels in cases [2.26 (0/15)] were similar to those in controls [2.24 (0.12)]. In Nigerian children, hypocalcaemia and hypophosphataemia are associated with malaria.
