When malaria reaches serious cases, malaria can cause anemia, jaundice, kidney failure, seizures, coma and even death.
Causes of malaria: Malaria is caused by a parasite called plasmodium. This parasitic infected female anopheles spreads to humans by mosquito bites. When an infected mosquito bites a person, the parasites enter its bloodstream and then move into the liver. After maturing in the liver, they infect red blood cells, causing malaria symptoms. Malaria can also spread by exposure to infected blood, such as the needles used during pregnancy or injections from the mother to the baby.
Treatment of Malaria: Malaria is treated with antimallerial drugs. The type and duration of treatment depends on the type of malaria parasite, the severity of the infection and the age and health of the patient. Artemicine-based combination therapy is the most effective treatment for plasmodium falciparum malaria. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can prevent deaths from malaria.
