Introduction: Malaria is a parasitic disease caused by Plasmodium parasites and transmitted through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. One of the common complications of malaria is anemia, which occurs due to the destruction of red blood cells and decreased production of new red blood cells. The main aim of this study is to explore the hematological changes in patients with malaria-associated anemia.

Material and Methods: The study included 200 patients of all age groups and both genders who presented with confirmed malaria and anemia at Department of General Medicine, Mamata Academy of Medical sciences, Bachupally, Hyderabad. Demographic characteristics, including age, gender distribution, major occupations, and social-economic status, were recorded and analyzed. Additionally, various essential blood parameters, such as hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, RBC count, and reticulocyte count, were measured and their mean values and standard deviations calculated.

Results: The mean age of the population was 25 years, with a standard deviation of 10 years. Gender representation was almost equal, with 52% males and 48% females. The population comprised 30% students, 25% farmers, 20% laborers, and 25% others. In terms of social-economic status, approximately 30% had a low status, 40% were classified as medium, and 30% as high. Blood parameter analysis revealed mean values of 10.4 g/dL for hemoglobin concentration, 31.2% for hematocrit, 4.2 million/μL for RBC count, and 3.2% for reticulocyte count.
