Digital PCR results from samples from infant and mother in study of congenital malaria, Portugal. We obtained results from arithmetic average values (parasite/µL) of triplicate results. Results indicate the number of positive droplets in each sample: 1, taken from infant’s Guthrie card on day 4 after birth, 0.49 parasites/µL; 2, taken from infant at hospital admission, 30,000 parasites/µL; 3, taken from infant at follow-up appointment, 599.8 parasites/µL; and 4, taken from mother at follow-up, 0.5 parasites/µL. FAM, fluorescein amidite.
