ABSTRACT
The indirect hemagglutination test with Plasmodium falciparum antigen was used to measure malarial antibodies in filter paper blood specimens from 527 West African children. A slight decline in antibodies was noted in 6- to 8-month-old children wh o had no malaria parasites in their blood smears. Children older than 10 months had similar antibody levels regardless of the presence or absence of demonstrated parasites in blood smears.
