If your child has malaria you are advised to seek medical attention at the earliest.
Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium parasite. The parasite is spread to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes.
The primary symptoms of malaria include fever and flu like illness, including shaking chills, headache, muscle aches, and tiredness.
Malaria may cause anemia and jaundice (yellow coloring of the skin and eyes) because of the loss of red blood cells. If not promptly treated, the infection can become severe and may cause kidney failure, seizures, mental confusion, coma, and death.
The difference between the two is that malaria is caused by a parasite and not a virus or bacteria. Bacteria are microorganisms that cause fever and diseases.
