The hematological changes usually associated with malaria are well known. This study was conducted to estimate and compare the predominance & severity of hematological changes in common types of malaria. This study included 200 patients, out of which 37 (18.5%) patients were found to harbor malaria parasite by either of the techniques (Table: 1). P. falciparum malaria was commoner than P. vivax having 19 cases (51.35%) versus 14 cases (37.84%) respectively, while Mixed infection represented only 4 cases (10.81%). Monocyte as well as neutrophils were increased respectively in 7 (18.92%) and 5 (13.51%) cases. However, lymphopenia was present in 9 (24.32%) cases. Commonly 26 (70.27%) had thrombocytopenia and 10 (27.03%) had normal platelets. The Peripheral smear examination showed 8 (21.62%) of the patients were anemic with normocytic normochromic except in 4 (10.81%), where it was Normocytic hypochromic. P. falciparum as well as P. vivax can cause significant hematological changes with high incidence of thromboctopenia, anemia, lymphopenia and monocytosis.
