Abstract
Malaria continues to be a great health problem in some of the most populated areas of the world & continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. At present, official figures for malaria in India, available at NVBDCP, indicate 0.7-1.6 million confirmed cases and 400-1,000 deaths annually. Hematological changes, which are the most common systemic complications, play a significant role in these serious complications. The haematological abnormalities that have been reported to consistently companion which comprise anaemia, thrombocytopenia, and atypical lymphocytosis and infrequently disseminated intravascular coagulation. Hence the study had been planned to study the haematological changes in the malarial
patients.
The study has planned in North Indian Hospital. The 100 patients detected with malaria were enrolled in to the study. The age group of the patients are from 20- 70 years.
In the present study the commonly affected age group is 31-40 years. In the 100 patients, 61 patients were observed with P. Falciparum infection. 32 patients were observed with P. Vivax infection. 10 cases are observed with mixed type of infections.
