Understanding Malaria
Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites, transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. The most common species in India include Plasmodium vivax and
Plasmodium falciparum. The infection may present with:
● High fever (often with cycles of chills and sweating)
● Severe body aches and headache
● Nausea, vomiting, and fatigue
● Jaundice or low hemoglobin levels in some cases
● Seizures or confusion in complicated malaria (especially falciparum)
Without proper treatment, malaria can damage the liver, kidneys, and brain or lead to death, making timely care essential.
