ABSTRACT
Malaria is a common parasitic infection seen in the tropics. The most common clinical presentation of malaria is fever with chills and rigors. However, it can also manifest with systemic complications depending on the immune status of the individual and degree of parasitemia. This study was undertaken to look at the various clinical patterns of presentation of malaria and the impact of parasitemia on disease progression and recovery. Parasitic index (PI) was calculated and graded and was found to correlate with the severity of disease.
