| الوصف: | A study to assess the haemoprevalence and associated haematological effect of malaria infection was conducted among febrile patients. 86 febrile patients (37 males and 49 females) attending Dutsin-Ma General hospital, Katsina State, North-western Nigeria were used for the study. 5ml of peripheral blood samples were collected from each patient; 3 ml was placed in EDTA containers for malaria parasite test and hematologic parameters test. All samples were stored at -2ᵒC to +8oC and transported to the laboratory for analysis. An overall herd prevalence of 61.6% was observed. The percentages of infected male and female individuals were 59.5% and 63.3%, respectively. The least (40%) and the highest prevalence (77.8%) were recorded in age groups 25-36 and >36 years respectively. The odd of having a malaria positive individual is 0.9 (95% CI = 0.355-2.046). The difference in Prevalence across the age groups is statistically not significant (P>0.05). The odd of having a malaria positive individual across the Age groups is 1.7 (95% CI = 0.613-4.494). The herd level prevalence of malaria in the study area is high. Therefore, Proactive steps such as use of Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs), ensuring the screening of windows and doors, maintaining a healthy environment condition (which discourages the breeding of mosquitoes) and other effective malaria control strategies would all have a synergistic effect in controlling malaria infection. |
