Abstract
Objectives: The main objective of this study is to study the effect of storage of falciparum infected blood on parasite count, haemoglobin and bilirubin level. Method: This is Descriptive prospective study carried out in the central laboratory of Wad Medani Teaching Hospital .Sudan , All samples (100) were infected by P. falciparum & the parasite stages detected were rings form. For each sample, parasite count, haemoglobin estimation & bilirubin measurement were done immediately, after 7 days, 14 days & 21 days.The statistical analysis was done by using SPSS program. Results: Parasite count : Parasite count in the immediate examination ranged between 150- 40000 parasite/µl of blood, the mean was 1558.5.Then it started to decreased after 7 and 14 days to become no parasite after 21 days. Haemoglobin level : The mean of haemoglobin in immediate estimation was 80% & 70% for males & females respectively. The samples showed decreased in haemoglobin level in both sex after 7, 14 and 21 days Bilirubin estimation: in immediate estimation From the 100 samples 42 samples showed increased in bilirubin level. After 7 days 78 samples showed normal bilirubin level, & 22 samples showed mild decreased due to exposure to sun light, but still in abnormal level. After 14 days most samples showed normal bilirubin level ,only 5 samples remain in the increased level. On day 21 all samples were in the normal level. Conclusion: the study concluded that storage of infected blood by P.falciprum leads to hemoglobin fall down due to utilization by the parasite.Storage of infected blood by P.falciprum leads to decease in parasite count & after 21 days the blood becomes negative.Storage of infected blood by P.falciprum leads to bilirubin fall down due to exposure to sun light which causes destruction of bilirubin
