Abstract

The morbidity and mortality due to malaria is still high, and 61% of the cases are children under five. East Nusa Tenggara is a malaria-endemic region in Indonesia, and Sumba Island has the highest number of people with malaria in East Nusa Tenggara. The aim of this study is to describe malaria profile in children at Mambitul Public Health Center, Central Sumba. A cross-sectional study was performed by collecting secondary data from the medical records of malaria's patients at Mambitul Public Health Centre. One hundred and nineteen children were enrolled. The highest proportion was male patients (54,6%), and aged 6 – 11,9 years old (49,6%). One hundred subjects (84%) were infected with Plasmodium vivax. The most clinical symptoms were fever on 112/119 subjects (94%), cough on 68/119 subjects (57,4%), and headache on 25/119 subjects (21%).
