MALARIA:
[edit | edit source]A HUMAN VIRAL DISEASE:
[edit | edit source]CAUSED:
[edit | edit source]Malaria is caused by Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae.
SYMPTOMS:
[edit | edit source]Symptoms can appear anywhere from 7 to 90 days after you've been bitten. Symptoms of malaria include sudden fever, headache, chills, and tiredness. Malaria has symptoms that can be mistaken as flu-like symptoms, so it's a good idea to get yourself tested if you think you might have been infected with malaria.
As the protozoal infection gets worse, it will cause anemia and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes).
The most severe kind of protozoal infection, which can reach a coma, is understood as cerebral protozoal infection. this kind represents 15 August 1945 of deaths in kids and nearly two-hundredths of adult deaths.
TRANSMISSION/SPREADING:
[edit | edit source]Once you are bitten by an infective mosquito there will be a period of delay before you fall ill. During this time the malaria parasite develops in the liver. Once it emerges from the
liver and starts circulating in the bloodstream you will start to feel unwell. This is normally within a couple of weeks after being bitten, but it can be up to a few months or even years in certain circumstances. Initial symptoms may be very vague and flu including lethargy, aching muscles headache, and then fever and chills. Often these relatively mild symptoms persist for a couple of days before becoming more serious, however, the progression can be much faster with severe malaria and possibly cerebral complications developing within 24 hours of initial symptoms.
PREVENTION:
[edit | edit source]Malaria is a serious disease, but it can be prevented by taking certain medications. Malaria can get rid of by limit to exposure to mosquitoes, using mosquito repellant, wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants, staying in a place with window screens or air conditioning, sleeping under mosquito netting, and getting vaccinated. Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that causes high fever, palpitations, and sweating. It can be prevented by utilizing insecticide-treated bed nets.
VACCINE:
[edit | edit source]Vaccines against malaria are not currently offered on the market. Falciparum malaria vaccine candidates are being tested or developed in large numbers right now. The most advanced RTS, S, could be employed operationally in the near future.
TREATMENT:
[edit | edit source]Some of the major types of medication used to treat malaria include Chloroquine, Quinine, and Larium. When choosing a type of treatment for malaria, you'll need to seek advice from a healthcare professional who is familiar with your specific situation. Keep in mind that some medications have potentially serious side effects, so it's important to discuss all available treatment options with your doctor first before making any decisions about what's best for you. The bottom line is that healthcare professionals understand how these medications work better than anyone else. So if you're dealing with a case of malaria, take the time to research your options freely and make an informed decision about how to proceed based on the advice you receive from medical professionals.
OUTLOOK:
[edit | edit source]Malaria can result in major health issues, including death and lasting organ damage if it is not adequately treated. If you suspect you have malaria or have recently traveled to a region where it is prevalent, it is critical to seek treatment as soon as possible. Early treatment has a substantially higher rate of success.
Malaria can be treated and the infection removed from your body with the proper treatment and dosage. If an infected mosquito bites you after you've already had malaria, you could contract it again.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
[edit | edit source]What is malaria?
[edit | edit source]A parasite that frequently infects a specific species of mosquito that depends on people can lead to a serious and occasionally fatal disease known as malaria. Malaria usually causes severe illness in its hosts, particularly high fevers, shivering chills, and flu-like symptoms.
Does malaria spread from person to person?
[edit | edit source]No. Malaria cannot be sexually transmitted and cannot be shared from person to person like the common cold or the flu. Casual contact with malaria-infected individuals, such as sitting next to a patient, is not
Are there different kinds of malaria?
[edit | edit source]Five different species of the single-celled parasite Plasmodium can infect people and make them ill:
1.Falciparum malaria (or P. falciparum)
2. Malaria parasite (or P. malaria)
3. Malaria vivax (or P. vivax)
4. Ovalized Plasmodium (or P. ovale)
5. Malaria knowlesi (or P. knowlesi)
Malaria caused by Falciparum is possibly fatal. Serious falciparum malaria patients may experience unconsciousness, convulsions, and liver and kidney failure. Even while they can be severe on occasion, P. vivax and P. ovale infections typically result in less severe disease. However, the parasites can lay latent in the liver for many months, which can result in a recurrence of symptoms months or even years later.
Which type of malaria is serious?
[edit | edit source]Falciparum malaria is the most serious common form of the disease and is often life-threatening in non-immune people. Malaria is also very serious and should be treated as falciparum, though it is rare and only seen in specific areas of South East Asia.
