Abstrakt: Objective To analyze the clinical data and drug treatment of malaria patients Xixi Hospital of Hangzhou, February 2014 - December 2019, and we provide reference data for early clinical diagnosis, assessment of severity and treatment, and promote rational clinical medication. Methods A total of 66 malaria patients admitted to hospital from February 2014 to December 2019 were collected to distinguish mild and severe cases. The laboratory test results and drug use of the two groups were compared, and the indicators of the two groups were analyzed by multi-factor binary Logistic Stepwise regression analysis. Results In the treatment of 17 patients with severe falciparum malaria,10 patients artesunate injection and subsequent dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine tablets were used to consolidate the treatment, and the treatment effect was good. Among 34 patients with mild falciparum malaria, 28 patients were treated with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine tablets alone, with sensitive effect and high cure rate. For 8 cases of vivax malaria and 4 cases of ovale malaria, 6 patients were treated with chloroquine phosphate plus primaquine phosphate 8-day regimen, and 6 patients were treated with artemisinin-based drugs, and the treatment effect was good. There was statistically significant difference in age, cure time, white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells, hemoglobin, platelets, aspartate transaminase, total bilirubin, C-reactive protein and procalcitonin (PCT) between mild group and severe group (P<0.05). Multi-factor binary Logistic Stepwise regression analysis showed that the related factors influencing the severity of malaria included age, WBC and PCT. Conclusion Artemisinin-based injections combined with ACTs (Combinatorial therapy) are more effective in treating severe and malignant diseases. Artemisinin alone is effective in the treatment of vivax malaria and ovale malaria in the absence of preferred drugs. There are many factors, such as age, cure time, white blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin, platelets, aspartate transaminase, total bilirubin, C-reactive protein and procalcitonin, influencing the severity of malaria, among which age, leukocyte and procalcitonin are of great significance for the prediction and evaluation of malaria severity.
