Abstrakt: Plasma lipid levels (cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triacylglycerol) were estimated in patients with different antimalarial drugs. The lipid levels especially cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were found to be lower (p > 0.01) during therapy when compared to the control group (non-malaria patients), while triacylglycerol and HDL-cholesterol levels were higher (p < 0.01) in the malaria patients than the control group.
