Our experience with malaria patients presenting to a hospital in Mali

Author(s): Sakir Zeybek MD
Abstract: Introduction: Malaria, a parasitic disease transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes, continues to impact global public health profoundly. In 2023, the World Health Organization reported an estimated 263 million malaria cases worldwide, accompanied by approximately 597,000 deaths. This article elucidates our experiences with malaria, encompassing clinical observations, intervention strategies, and outcomes.
Method: The study included 140 participants who had applied to the hospital and were suspected of having malaria. The patients were first given a rapid test, and then the diagnosis was confirmed with thick drop and peripheral smear tests. The participants' average red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet values were compared according to their gender. The possible correlation was investigated between the participants' red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and age variables.
Results: The oldest participant is 88 years old, and the youngest is two years old. Red blood cells and platelet values showed statistically significant differences between genders, while white blood cells did not. It was determined that there was a significant negative correlation between platelet values and red blood cells and a significant positive correlation between white blood cells.
Conclusion: In conclusion, our experiences with malaria underscore the complexity.
