Abstract

 This study was conducted to assess the influence of Plasmodium falciparum parasitaemia on PCV Packed Cell Volume in (children) (6-59), at Bulumkutu Comprehensive Health Center Maiduguri, Borno State, between August to December, 2019. A total of 210 children were enrolled in the study which consisted of 88 (41.9%) patients with positive P. falciparum malaria and 122 (58.10%) negative malaria. Hematological parameters were analyzed using sysmexhaematology auto-analyser (2011), while the Giemsa stained slides thick and thin blood films were prepared from the stock solution, and tested for Plasmodium falciparummalaria and count of malaria parasite density. The result shows that a mean parked cell volume. countswere significantly lower compared to malaria negative individual. A negative and significant orre1a1ion was observed between the parasite densities parked cell volumes index of anaemia of subject. (r2 0.508, p 0.005) and also in male subject.(r2 0.680, p 0.005) while the parked cell volume and count female subjects (r2 0.537, p 0.005) respectively.
