Can malaria symptoms come back every year?
Malaria may recur. Some varieties of the malaria parasite, which typically cause milder forms of the disease, can persist for years and cause relapses.

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.
You may experience fever and flu-like illness, including shaking chills, headache, muscle aches, and tiredness. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may also occur.
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.
Malarial infection in placenta is characterized by sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes and infiltration of immune cells.
Among the several complications, the effects of malaria seem to target the skeletal muscle system, leading to symptoms, such as muscle aches, muscle contractures, muscle fatigue, muscle pain, and muscle weakness.
