Abstract
Malaria accounts for majority of the cases of acute febrile illness with predominance of P.falciparum during the malaria transmission period. Alterations in hematological parameters in the form of anemia and thrombocytopenia are frequently encountered in malaria, especially P.falciparum malaria. Low hemoglobin value and thrombocytopenia increase the probability of malaria in cases of acute febrile illness. Platelet count below 150,000 cells/cu.mm in cases acute fever is single most important parameter indicative of malaria.
