Abstract


Malaria is an infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium that infect and multiply within human red blood cells. Papua Province is one of the regions with a high malaria burden in Indonesia, and Nabire Regency remains a malaria-endemic area. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of malaria cases at Nabire Regional General Hospital, Papua, during November–December 2023. This descriptive study used 78 blood smear preparations collected from patients at Nabire Regional General Hospital. Microscopic examination was conducted at the Clinical Laboratory of STIKES Guna Bangsa, Yogyakarta, during February–March 2024. Data were analyzed descriptively using SPSS version 16.0 and presented as frequencies and percentages. The results showed that 28 samples (35.9%) were positive for malaria and 50 samples (64.1%) were negative. The identified Plasmodium species were Plasmodium falciparum in 13 cases (46.4%), Plasmodium vivax in 11 cases (39.3%), and mixed infections in 4 cases (14.3%). Malaria cases were more common among females (20.5%) than males (15.4%). The highest proportion of cases was found among adults aged 26–45 years (17.9%) and residents of Nabire District (10.3%). In conclusion, Plasmodium falciparum was the predominant species identified, and malaria cases were more frequently found among females, adults aged 26–45 years, and residents of Nabire District.
