Malaria is a disease that has been known since ancient times
and is seen in 300-500 million people per year in developing
countries in tropical regions. It has been reported that
2-3 millions of these patients die, and malaria ranks sixth
to eighth among infectious diseases1
. It is known that
malaria affects many organs and systems, especially the
hematopoietic system, and complications related to these
systems are responsible for mortality and morbidity. Changes
in the hematological system, especially erythrocyte count
and platelet count have been associated with mortality2,3.
