Last updated on 09 Dec 2024
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.
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.
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 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.
Malaria is caused by parasites, not by a virus or by a type of bacterium.
