Abstract

Background: The incidence of Plasmodium vivax (P.vivax) cases that cause malaria has increased in the Indian subcontinent. Malaria has emerged as a significant research issue due to the severity of the disease and changes in laboratory test results brought on by P. vivax. Aim and Objective: With the objectives of evaluating the pattern of change in lab parameters in illness and its role in comprehensive management of the treatment response, the current study aims to demonstrate the association between malaria and altered lab parameters and to compare the diagnostic techniques among the patients from Uttar Pradesh. Material and Methods: This was a retrospective study carried out in the Department of Microbiology of the central laboratory at Sharda Hospital in Greater Noida over a period of ten-months (April 2023–January 2024). A rapid malaria antigen test (RMAT) and a peripheral blood smear examination (PBS) were both used to confirm malaria. Automation was used for the hematological and liver function tests.
