In Sub-Sahara Africa including Nigeria, it is a major public health problem, hence this study to control and discriminate between these infections for possible early diagnosis. The study was conducted to statistically analyze hematological parameters including packed cells volume (PCV), total and differential white blood cells count (WBC), platelet count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) of malaria infected patients in the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar.
