Abstract:

In severe anemia of malarial origin the potassium level in the blood serum drops below the normal minimum level. In chronic malaria, with mild anemia, there is no variation from the normal physiological levels. In acute malaria, during the fever phase, there is an increase in the potassium level. This increase is not apparently linked with the fever as such. During the quiescent periods, the potassium level returns to normal.
