Abstract :
Malaria is one of the most important vector borne diseases causing significant morbidity and mortality. This is retrospective record based descriptive study at SCBMC, Cuttack, over 3 calendar years i.e. 2010, 2011 and 2012, using predesigned and pretested formats. Objective of this study is to study treatment patterns of admitted malaria cases at that tertiary care hospital. Out of total 8282 cases, in 7294 cases (96%) injection artesunate was used. In the rest (4%), the use of other antimalarials as either monotherapy or mix of more than one was documented. Among those cases in only 83 (1.3%) tickets the prescription for radical treatment i.e. Primaquine tablets was found. In the rest of tickets no data was found regarding the use of radical treatment. In 5720 (69%) cases one or more type of complications like hepatopathy, ARF, pneumonia, etc, was present.
