Abstract

Malaria is endemic in the Indian state of Assam and transmission of the causative parasites is perennial and persistent. The available data on malaria-related morbidity and mortality in the state for the years 1991–1999 have been reviewed. Over this period, Plasmodium falciparum was the predominant parasite, causing 58%–68% of the malaria cases; all other cases were attributed to P. vivax. All malaria-related deaths were attributed to P. falciparum infection, and the numbers of such deaths were correlated with the numbers of cases of P. falciparum malaria. The deaths occurred mostly in the rainy season (April-September) and among all age-groups of both sexes. The factors responsible for focal outbreaks of malaria across the state are discussed in relation to the existing health infrastructure.

印度东北部阿萨姆邦的疟疾可归因于发病率
疟疾是印度阿萨姆邦的地方病,致病寄生虫的传播是常年和持续的。对1991-1999年该州与疟疾有关的发病率和死亡率的现有数据进行了审查。在此期间,恶性疟原虫是主要寄生虫,造成58%-68%的疟疾病例;所有其他病例均归因于间日疟原虫。所有与疟疾有关的死亡都归因于恶性疟原虫感染,这种死亡人数与恶性疟原虫疟疾病例数相关。死亡主要发生在雨季(4月至9月),男女各年龄组均有死亡。根据现有的卫生基础设施,讨论了造成全州疟疾集中爆发的因素。
