abstract={The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Glucose-6-Phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) status in Plasmodium falciparum malaria infected individuals cortisol, malondialdehyde (MDA), blood glucose and blood lipid profile. The study was conducted at Federal Medical Centre, Ido-Ekiti, Nigeria. Two hundred and two blood samples were collected twice from each malaria infected individuals. Thick blood film was made and stained with Giemsa¡¯s staining technique for malaria parasite detection; Glucose-6-Phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) was performed using methaemoglobin reduction method. Data obtained was analysed using SPSS version 16. The result of this present study showed that the mean¡ÀSD of cortisol and malondialdehyde (MDA) in G6PD normal were higher compared to G6PD deficient in pre and post anti-malaria drug treatment. Cortisol levels increased in patients with P.falciparum malaria infection, which decline as the clinical condition improved and parasitaemia decrease during anti malaria treatment.},
