| الوصف: | Background: As of this present moment, there is paucity of data on report concerning the association between hypoalbuminaemia or reversal of albumin-to-globulin ratio and morbidity outcome in Lassa fever (LF) infection as a crucial determinant prognostic-predictor factor for treatment-survival outcome. Aim: This study was designed to determine the association between hypoalbuminaemia, reversal of albumin-to-globulin ratio and morbidity outcome among confirmed LF infected patients. Methodology: This was a descriptive retrospective study involving the assessment of records of confirmed LF infected patients that were managed at the center from November 2018 to October 2019. Results: Out of 83 recruited participants with complete records, 66 (79.5%) had hypoalbuminaemia, 74 (89.2%) had reversal of albumin-to-globulin ratio. A higher mean value of total white blood cell (WBC) count was observed among patients with hypoalbuminaemia (p Lay abstract This study was designed to determine the association between hypoalbuminaemia, reversal of albumin-to-globulin ratio and morbidity outcome among confirmed LF infected patients from November 2018 to October 2019.
