Abstract
This study was conducted on 72 blood samples collected from patients attending in Medical Military Hospital in Omdurman province. Out of the blood samples examined, 32 were found positive for malaria infection. This constituted a prevalence rate of 44.4%. The study included 40 males. Among them, 18 were infected with malaria with a prevalence rate of 56.3%. The study also included 32 females with 14 infected with malaria constituting a prevalence rate of 43.8 %. The difference in prevalence rates was found to be statistically insignificant. The study showed that there was a negative relation between the platelet count and parasite density as the correlation coefficient (rho) was found to be (-0.376) demonstrated that when the parasite density was high the platelet was low. The study showed that there was a negative relation between the age and parasite density as the correlation coefficient (rho) was found to be -0.023 showing that  the levels of parasitaemia was decreasing by age increased.
