Malaria - Describe the Disease Malaria
The disease Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans which begins with the bite from an infected female Anopheles Mosquito & involves high fevers, shaking chills, flu-like symptoms, muscle aches and pain, vomiting, bloody stools and anemia.Malaria is transmitted through the bites of infected female mosquitoes, it can also be transmitted by blood transfusions and from a mother to her unborn baby. After infection, the parasites travel throughout the bloodstream infecting the red blood cells & penetrate into the liver, where they grown-up & reproduce. The foremost symptoms usually occur 10 days to 25 days after infection, though they can emerge as early as 8 days or as long as a year after infection.
During a physical assessment, the doctor may come across an enlarged liver or enlarged spleen. Malaria blood smears taken at 6 to 12 hour intervals confirm the diagnosis. Once confirmed proper Medical care, including fluids through a vein (IV) and other anti- malarial medications and breathing (respiratory) support may be needed. If not treated, this disease can quickly become life-threatening by disrupting the blood supply to vital organs.
