Objective: Malaria is today one of the major causes of human suffering, both in terms of increasing morbidity/mortality and stunting intellectual/ economic growth.
In a developing country like India, it has devastating socioeconomic consequences.
The present study was therefore carried out to study the epidemiology of malaria in Amritsar district.
Methods: Diagnosed cases of Malaria reported from 1st January to 31st December 2009 in the erstwhile District of Amritsar were collected from the District Epidemiologist of Amritsar and Taran Taaran and studied.
A total of 314 patients were studied.
Data was assessed, systematically compiled and statistically analyzed.
Results: Most (84%) of the malaria patients in our study were less than 45 years of age.
Male patients (57%) outnumbered females (43%).
The majority of patients with malaria (98%) were from rural areas and 68.5% of the studied patients belonged to upper lower socioeconomical class according to Kuppuswamy socioeconomic status scale.
The majority (83%) of patients took treatment from Registered Medical Practitioners/quacks.
Out of the total patients, only 14% used mosquito nets, 13% used repellents, and 7% had wire gauze doors in their homes Conclusion: The people living in rural areas were found to be more vulnerable to malaria.
The disease was found to be more prevalent among the lower socio economic strata and young population leading to considerable adverse effect on health and economy.
Our study aims to stress the estimation of the true burden of malaria
