- W4309043906 abstract "Sports, close-up work and other activities rely on the eyes, which are affected by the quantity, quality and dispersion of the tear film. Several medical disorders, most notably malaria, hypertension, diabetes, and spread, can have an impact on the quantity, quality, and distribution of tear film. At the University of Benin Health Center, a total of 425 outpatients between the ages of 10 and 50 were studied, including 180 men and 245 women. The presence or absence of systemic pathology was determined using case histories, clinical notes and testing. To rule out any eye pathology, a visual acuity (VA) test, external examination, and ophthalmoscopy were performed. The subjects were subjected to a rapid diagnostic test (RDT) kit to check for malaria. Patients who tested positive for malaria had their blood type and genotype examined. Before and after treatment for malaria with antimalarial Artesunate and Amodiaquine (Camosunate), as well as Artemether and Lumefantrin, the amount, quality, and distribution of the tear film (tear film workup) was assessed on them using Schirmer's test, keratometry, and blink rate (Lonart). Generally, treatment with Camosunate produced better result and was a better option compared to Lonart treatment as regard improved tear film quantity and spread in both sexes, especially in females was significant (p < 0.001) with the good association. The quantity, quality, and distribution of tear film production were unaffected by the kind of parasites (Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax), either before or after treatment. Additionally, the results show that malaria has a greater impact on both sexes' tear film production and distribution the more parasitaemia there is. Except for the spread of the tear film, which substantially and sufficiently (p 0.001) improved after the incidence of malaria, the quantity and quality outcomes of the tear films were unaffected by the disease." @default.
