Malaria is endemic in Abbottabad and the adjoining areas like many other parts of the country. Depending upon the environmental conditions different species of malarial parasite are found in different areas. The present study was planned to see the pattern of malarial infection diagnosed at Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad.
Giemsa stained thick and thin blood films of indoor and outdoor febrile patients sent to the laboratory of Ayub Teaching Hospital Abbottabad with a suspicion of malaria, were examined. Thick film was examined for the diagnosis of malaria while thin films were seen to know the species.
Out of 1994 patients screened, 145 (7.2%) were found infected. Plasmodium vivax was seen in the majority (72.47.2%). Plasmodium falciparum was the second common species detected in 24.1% cases. Mixed infection was seen in 3.44% cases while Plasmodium malariae and ovale was not seen in any patient.
Plasmodium vivax was the commonest type of malaria diagnosed at Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad, during 2002- 2004.
与该国许多其他地区一样,疟疾在阿伯塔巴德及其周边地区流行。根据环境条件,不同地区发现不同种类的疟原虫。本研究旨在观察阿伯塔巴德阿尤布教学医院诊断的疟疾感染模式。
对送往阿伯塔巴德阿尤布教学医院实验室、怀疑患有疟疾的室内和室外发热患者的吉姆萨染色厚血膜和薄血膜进行检查。厚血膜用于疟疾诊断,薄血膜用于确定疟原虫种类。
在筛查的1994名患者中,145人(7.2%)被发现感染。间日疟原虫最为常见(72.4%)。恶性疟原虫是第二常见的种类,在24.1%的病例中被检测到。3.44%的病例为混合感染,未在任何患者中发现三日疟原虫和卵形疟原虫。
2002年至2004年期间,间日疟原虫是阿伯塔巴德阿尤布教学医院诊断出的最常见疟疾类型。
