Aim: A study to find the commonest plasmodium malaria in tertiary care hospital. Materials and methods: The parents of all participants provided informed written permission. This research included children, regardless of their gender, who were under the age of 12 and had clinical symptoms suggestive of malaria. Participants who were older than 12 years and whose parents did not provide informed written permission and were uncooperative were excluded from the study. This research covered all youngsters who met the specified inclusion criteria during the designated study period. The historical information and clinical examination results were documented. Results: This research included the recruitment of a total of 1024 individuals who were clinically suspected to have malaria. Among these cases, 601 individuals (59%) were confirmed to be positive for malaria. Out of the total sample size, a significant proportion of 93% (559) individuals were found to have positive results by blood smear examination (BSE), whereas a slightly higher percentage of 96% (579) individuals were identified as positive with the use of the rapid diagnostic method (RDT). According to statistical analysis, there was a notable and meaningful difference. A total of 31.1% (187) cases of Plasmodium falciparum were detected using blood smear examination (BSE), while 41.6% (205) cases were found by rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs). In contrast, a total of 69% (414) individuals were identified as belonging to different plasmodium species using blood smear examination (BSE), while 66% (396) were diagnosed using rapid diagnostic tests (RDT). Conclusion: We concluded that the Plasmodium falciparum is the predominant malaria causing agent in this area.
