Research is suggestive that neurologic defects may occasionally persist following cerebral malaria, especially in children. Such defects include trouble with movements (ataxia), palsies, speech difficulties, deafness, and blindness.
Malaria can damage the kidneys or liver or cause the spleen to rupture. Any of these conditions can be life-threatening.
Malaria is caused by a single-cell parasite called Plasmodium. The parasite infects female mosquitoes when they feed on an infected person's blood. Once in the mosquito's midgut, the parasites multiply and migrate to the salivary glands, ready to infect a new person when the mosquito next bites.
In Malaria, fever tends to have a cyclic pattern, occurring in episodes every 24 to 72 hours, depending on the type of malaria parasite involved. It can also cause anemia and an enlarged spleen. In the case of viral fever, the fever often known as febrile viral disease, is a widespread health risk that affects people of all ages.
Malaria parasites can be identified by examining under the microscope a drop of the patient's blood, spread out as a blood smear on a microscope slide.
