Abstract
Malaria is a major health problem in the tropics with increased morbidity and mortality. Plasmodium vivax is the most frequent and widely distributed cause of recurring malaria worldwide. Plasmodium vivax malaria is endemic infection in India and is commonly associated with haematological abnormalities, Thrombocytopenia is frequently observed in vivax malaria but the exact mechanism has not been elucidated. It has been increasingly observed that P. vivax malaria, which was otherwise considered to be benign malaria, with a low case-fatality ratio, can also occasionally result in severe disease as with P. falciparum malaria. This study was undertaken to correlate the presence and severity of thrombocytopenia with P. vivax malaria.
