PARASITE DENSITIES INFLUENCE ON THE WHITE BLOOD CELLS DISRIBUTION IN PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM TREAT ED CHILDREN
Journal Title: International Journal of Scientific Research and Management - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 7
Abstract
This study was conducted on a sample size of 313 children enrolled, all suffered from uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria and treated with either Artesunate + Sulphadoxine - Pyrimethamine (AT+SP) and Amodiaquine + Sulphadoxine - Pyrimethamine (AQ+SP), the re sult assessed the influence of parasite densities on WBC distribution in children (6 - 59 months) treated over 28 days. The proto col on therapeutic efficacies of anti - malarial drugs was adopted. T his shows a reduction in WBC with parasite depletion , the influence of parasitaemia on WBC was 92.92% for AT + SP compared to 87.66% for AQ + SP. The result further shows that for each μl of blood parasite clearance, there was a recovery in WBC by 0.5299 x 10 9 ∕μl for AT + SP compared to 0.4597 x10 9 ∕μl for AQ + SP patients.
