This is a case control study conducted at Dongola Hospital ,in the period from January to April 2015.The study aimed to study platelet count and indices in sudanese malaria patients .One hundred blood samples were collected in ethylene Diaminetetraacitic acid (EDTA)containers ,70 samples from malaria patients and 30 samples from healthy volunteers as control , platelet counts and platelet indices were determind using automated hematological analyzer (Sysmex BC-3000 plus).The result showed that 43 patients (61.4%) with thrompocytopenia , mean±SD of platelet counts in patients decreased significantly compared to controls (135±16.1×109 vs 280±63.9×109cell/L respectively ,P.value 0.000), MPV in patients was decreased in patients compared to control group (7.68±051 vs 8.56.62 fl respectively ,P.value 0.000) ,PCT was decreased in patients compared to control group (0.191±0.06% vs 0.2350.065% respectively,P.value 0.002) ,PDW was showed no significant defferance in patients compared to control group (15.69±1.05 vs 15.5786 fl ,P.value 0.595).The study concluded that malaria altered the blood platelets count cousing thrompocytopenia and decrease mean platelet volume,plateletcrit but no significant deferance in platelet distrebutioon width .
