Abstract :

Malaria and HIV are among the two most important global health problems in developing countries. They cause more than 4 million deaths a year. Since 2009, the CDC has included malaria in the list of AIDS–related opportunistic infections; even though malaria is not among the leading causes of death in HIV–infected patients, it has been identified as the third most important source of HIV–related morbidity in Africa. The study was a cross–sectional study to detect P.falciparum among HIV patients and was conducted at the Omdurman center for volunteer council test and AL Khartoum center, Khartoum state, Sudan public from December 2017 to March 2018. A volume of 3– 5 ml blood sample was obtained by venipuncture from each of these patients into an ethylene diamine tetra–acetic acid (EDTA) anticoagulant bottle and centrifuged to obtained serum for nested PCR examination.DNA extracted by Patho Gene–spin™ DNA/RNA Extraction Kit and P.falciparum was detected by nested PCR. A total of 70 patients were randomly selected in the study with the (38%) were females. Most of the patients were on stage III (76%). The majority (98.6%) of the patients was negative for the Plasmodium falciparum and only one case (1.4) was positive for the Plasmodium falciparum. Our result showed the positivity occur in stageIII and the relationship between the P.Falciparum and gender was significant as the P value =0.46≤ (P=0.05).
