Abstract

Malaria affects almost all blood components. One of the most common haematological disorders is thrombocytopenia. Plasmodium infection can cause abnormalities in platelet structure and function. This study aims to spatial/map the spread of malaria incidence, location and physical environmental conditions and chemical breeding places of malaria vectors and analyze the effect of the density of Plasmodium sp on Anemia, Thrombocytopenia and SGPT/SGOT on malaria patients in Minahasa District in 2017. Samples were malaria sufferers April-August came to check up at the existing Puskesmas in Southeast Minahasa Regency, then the data of the coordinates of the house of malaria patients and Anopheles sp habitat and the physical and chemical environmental conditions of the Anopheles sp habitat surveyed using Global Positioning System (GPS). To analyze the effect of plasmodium sp density on anemia, thrombocytopenia and SGPT/SGOT using Chi square test statistics. The results of the study Dissemination of malaria incidence and the distance of Anopheles sp habitat to the homes of malaria sufferers. Physical and chemical environmental conditions in Anopheles sp habitat. in residential areas of malaria sufferers are temperatures 25.1-27.9 0c, humidity 72%-86%, pH 6.2-6.7 and salinity 0 ‰. Plasmodium sp density in 37 malaria patients consisted of 18 + cases, 12 ++ cases, 5 +++ cases and 2 ++++ cases. Statistical test results showed no relationship between Plasmodium sp density and anemia, and there was a relationship between the density of Plasmodium sp to Thrombocytopenia and SGPT/SGOT.
