Investigation to identify factors that determine the clinical outcome of malaria are essential for the improvement of patient care in severe malaria cases. The objectives were to assess the parasitologic and haemato-immunological characteristics of malaria patients with and without HIV co-infection. Immune cells were enumerated using the Flow cytometer method. Haematological values were determined using the Coulter Counter system. Malaria parasite detection was conducted using standard microscopy; and HIV testing was conducted using Determine ELISA and Western blot methods. A total of 253 study participants out of which 87 were control cases and 166 were acute malaria patients (49.4% due to P. falciparum 48.8 % due to P. vivax 1.8% due to mixed infection) were included. Eight out of 166 (4.8%) of the malaria patients were found to be HIV positive. Asexual stage parasitemia was increased in HIV positive falciparum patients (P = 0.031). However the increase in parasitemia in HIV positive vivax malaria patients was not significant. HIV infection is seen to aggravate the decrease in Haemoglobin (Hgb) Haematocrit (Hct) and Platelet (Plt) levels. Lymphopenia CD4+ lymphocytopenia eosinopenia monocytosis and thrombocytopenia were found to be higher in both malaria infections compared to the control ones (P<0.05). Care should be taken when using immune cell counts for research or diagnostic purposes in malaria patients. The effects of HIV on parasitologic and haematologic values should be taken into account during the provision of care to HIV positive malaria patients. (authors)
