- ABSTRACT Falciparum malaria remains problematic in subtropical and tropical countries like Indonesia. Factors of the patient affect the severity of the disease that can be evaluated on the parasitaemia rate. One of the factors on the patient affecting the malaria disease is the nutritional status covering anthropometric measurement and biochemical test. The anthropometric measurements cover the percentage of weight for age, weight for height, height for age and percentage of body weight by Broca formula. Biochemical tests cover level of haemoglobin, haematocrite, protein, albumin and serum iron. The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between nutritional status and the severity of P. falciparum infection based on the parasitaemia rate on malaria patients who medicated during May-July 1999 in the Public Health Centre of Tombatu, Minahasa, North Sulawesi. This is a cross-sectional study. Every patient with clinical malaria was tested using a thick blood smear to identify P. falciparum infection only and to define the parasitaemia rate per 200 lecocytes. All of these selected patients underwent the anthropometric measurements and biochemical test to define the nutritional status, and the spleen enlargement test (splenomegaly). Seventy five patients with falciparum malaria were selected during the field study consisting 46,7% male and 53,3% female, and 28% of afl these patients had splenomegaly. Statistical results (Pearson correlation coefficient) showed that the relationship between anthropometric measurements and parasitaemia rate were not significant (p > 0,05 in each case). On the other hand, the relationship between biochemical tests (haemoglobin, haematocrite, albumin and serum iron) and parasitaemia rate were significant (p < 0,05), except protein total. The trend of relation ship was negative. The relationship between social economic factors and parasitaemia rate were not significant on malaria falciparum patients (3 ways Anova, p > 0,05) Keywords: P. falciparum infection -parasitaemia rate splenomegaly - nutritional status - anthropometric - biochemical,
