Abstract

Background: Hematological disorders, including anemia, thrombocytopenia and leukopenia are quite frequent among malaria patients. Objective: To assess the frequency of thrombocytopenia in malaria patient at tertiary care hospital Methodology: This study was descriptive, cross-sectional study carried out at the medicine department, Qazi Hussain Ahmad Medical Complex, Nowshera for a period of six months from May 2022 to October 2022. Pre-designed proforma was used to collect patient information, such as demographics and medical history. A hematology analyzer was used to calculate the hematological variables from the CBC results. All the collected data was analyzed by using IBM SPSS version 23. Results: There were 83 (55.33%) males and 67 (44.77%) females. The overall frequency of thrombocytopenia amongst 150 patients with malaria was 90% (n=135). Amongst patients with thrombocytopenia, grade 1 thrombocytopenia was observed in 75 (50%) patients, grade 2 in 38 (25.33%) patients, grade 3 in 23 (15.33%) patients while grade 4 thrombocytopenia was observed in 14 (9.33%) patients. Conclusion: Our study concludes that thrombocytopenia is highly prevalent amongst patients with malaria. This leads us to the conclusion that the platelet count is a useful first-stage screening parameter in individuals with acute febrile illness.

三级医院疟疾患者血小板减少的发生率

背景:血液学疾病，包括贫血、血小板减少症和白细胞减少症在疟疾患者中相当常见。目的:了解三级医院疟疾患者血小板减少的发生频率。方法:采用描述性横断面研究，于2022年5月至2022年10月在诺谢拉卡齐侯赛因艾哈迈德医疗中心内科进行。使用预先设计的形式来收集患者信息，如人口统计和病史。使用血液学分析仪从CBC结果计算血液学变量。所有收集的数据采用IBM SPSS version 23进行分析。结果:男性83例(55.33%)，女性67例(44.77%)。150例疟疾患者中血小板减少的总频率为90% (n=135)。在血小板减少患者中，1级血小板减少75例(50%)，2级38例(25.33%)，3级23例(15.33%)，4级14例(9.33%)。结论:我们的研究表明，血小板减少症在疟疾患者中非常普遍。这使我们得出结论，血小板计数是一个有用的第一阶段筛选参数，个人与急性发热性疾病。关键词:血小板减少症;疟疾;p.vivax;p.falsiparum
