Malaria is an infectious disease, which attacks the red blood cells and causing a decrease of hemoglobin levels and showing typical symptoms of liver disorders such as hepatomegaly and splenomegaly. However, quantitatively correlations between the type and parasitemic number with hemoglobin and protein levels are still not clearly known. the purpose of this study to determine the correlation between type and parasitemia numbers with hemoglobin and total proteins levels in malaria patients. this study was an observational analytic study with a case-control design. the subject of this study taken by accidental sampling. the data showed the most type of parasite in the research areas are Malaria falciparum and Malaria vivax with parasitemia numbers 1 to 4. the mean of hemoglobin levels for Malaria falciparum is 11.1 g/dl and Malaria vivax is 10.4 g/dl. meanwhile, the proteins levels for Malaria falciparum is 6.3 g/100 ml and Malaria vivax is 6.2 g/100 ml. The correlations with statistical test showed no decrease in hemoglobin and total protein levels with probability is 0.102 (p <α = 0.05). the conclusion of this study is there no correlation between type and parasitemia numbers with hemoglobin and total proteins levels in malaria patients.
