Abstract
This work was carried out in the Department of Biochemistry, Faculty
of Veterinary medicine, University of Khartoum. Samples were collected
from El Duiem province.
Forty seven individuals were selected for this study; all were a adults in
El Diuem province. Their age ranged between 20-40 years old. Thirty six of
them are malarial patients (19 are males and 17 are females). The other
thirty eight individuals were apparently healthy and used as control groups
as (18 males and 20 females).The blood samples were taken from the
cephalic vein for investigation of malaria parasite, plasma proteins and total
IgG.
Total IgG was measured using Radioimmunoassay method (RIA). The
effect of sex and degree of parasitemia was considered for all parameters
studied.
The result obtained revealed that, total protein and albumin were
significantly (p<0.05) lower in malaria patients compared to healthy
individuals whereas total globulin and IgG appeared significantly increased
during infection with P. falciparum malaria.
The result obtained showed that, the total proteins , total globulins and
IgG were significantly (p< 0.05) higher in one cross patients compared to
the control, and showed significantly (p<0.05) lower values in two cross
patients compared to the control, whereas the albumin fraction sowed
slightly lower values in patients compared to the control.
