ABSTRACT
A 10 year study of malaria during 1989-98 recorded an increase in the incidence of malaria from 0.22 in 1989 to 1.3 in 1996 following which it has reached a plateau. The cases were chiefly from Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil nadu. The P. falciparum infection and mixed infections (P. falciparum and vivax) were found to be on the rise. Peak of malaria cases were recorded in the months of June-July and in Oct-Nov coinciding with the rains showing a seasonal pattern. The common haematological findings were anemia, thrombocytopenia, pancytopenia and leucopenia. Complications noted in our study were haemolysis, renal failure, hepatopathy and cerebral malaria. The unusual cases were congenital malaria, malaria with sickle cell anemia, AIHA and G-6PD deficiency. Mortality due to cerebral malaria was found to be 13.5%.
