Plasmodium falciparum is the type of malaria that most often causes severe and life-threatening malaria
Malaria is spread by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Malaria may also be spread by transfusion of blood from infected people or by the use of contaminated needles or syringes.
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.
It can cause splenomegaly because of immune system responses.
Antimalarial drugs include artemisinin drugs (artemether and artesunate). The best treatment for Plasmodium falciparum malaria, if available, is artemisinin combination therapy along with drinking plenty of fluids.
