Causes
Malaria is caused by a parasite known as the Plasmodium parasite. The parasite is spread when a patient is bitten by an infected mosquito. There are 5 kinds of Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria in humans. Be on guard against the spread of malaria.
Risk factors
Mosquito breeding sites around the home like uncovered wells and stagnant water. Also an outbreak of malaria in your area.

Malaria can be a fatal disease. It is strongly recommended to get medical advice at the earliest if you suspect that you have malaria.

Some of the complications that can be caused by malaria are:

Diagnosis
Malaria treatment starts with a diagnosis by a blood test. The parasites that cause malaria are visible under a microscope. After a positive diagnosis, the tre atment for malaria should be initiated promptly.
Treatment
Anti-malarial medicine is used for the treatment of malaria. The type of drugs and the duration of treatment depends on the diagnosis of the doctor. Consult with a doctor promptly if you have any of the symptoms of malaria or find a malaria hospital near me.
