Malaria is one of the most prevalent infections worldwide, accounting for a major share of morbidity and mortality of parasitic diseases. Hematological changes in malaria patients include mainly anemia and thrombocytopenia. Detection of these alterations in patients presenting with classical symptoms, should prompt the laboratory physicians to search meticulously for the malaria parasite. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the hematological profiles of malaria patients in a tertiary care centre.
