MALARIA AND COAGULATION: BLOOD CLOTTING PROFILES IN SEMI-URBAN PATIENT POPULATIONS

Abstract

<p>Malaria remains a significant public health challenge in endemic regions, impacting various physiological parameters, including haemostasis. This study investigates the haemostatic parameters among malariainfected patients in a semi-urban setting within a malariaendemic region. By examining these parameters, the research aims to enhance the understanding of malaria's impact on blood clotting mechanisms and identify potential complications related to haemostasis. The study involved a cohort of patients diagnosed with malaria, from whom blood samples were collected and analyzed for key haemostatic markers. The findings reveal alterations in several haemostatic parameters, suggesting a correlation between malaria infection and disrupted blood clotting processes. These insights underscore the importance of monitoring haemostatic parameters in malaria management and provide a basis for further research into mitigating haemostasis-related complications in malaria-infected individuals.</p>
