ABSTRACT:   The relationship between the levels of FDP in the serum, parasite count and the severity of the clinical manifestations were studied in 89 patients with falcoparum malaria. Serum FDP levels were found to be related to the level of asexual parasite count as well as to the severity of the clinical manifestations of falciparum malaria. It is thus suggested that the measurement of serum FDP can be used to identify hihg risk group of falciparum malaria cases.
