What Is Malaria?
Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, transmitted through the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Once inside the body, the parasite multiplies in the liver and infects red blood cells, leading to fever and other symptoms.
In India, the most common types include:
- Plasmodium vivax (common and relapsing)
- Plasmodium falciparum (severe and potentially life-threatening)
- Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium ovale (less common)
Early diagnosis and proper treatment can ensure full recovery and prevent severe complications.
How Malaria Spreads
Malaria is not contagiousβit cannot spread from person to person like a cold. The infection spreads only through the bite of an infected mosquito.
π¦ Transmission Process:
- A mosquito bites a malaria-infected person.
- The parasite enters the mosquitoβs body.
- When that mosquito bites another person, the parasite is transferred.
- It travels to the liver, multiplies, and then infects red blood cellsβcausing symptoms.
Common Symptoms of Malaria
Symptoms usually appear 10β15 days after a mosquito bite, depending on the parasite type.
Common signs include:
β
High-grade fever with chills
β
Sweating and body ache
β
Headache and fatigue
β
Nausea or vomiting
β
Loss of appetite
β
Jaundice (in severe cases)
β
Muscle pain or joint pain
If untreated, malaria can lead to anemia, dehydration, and organ failure, especially in children, pregnant women, and elderly patients.
Step-by-Step Diagnosis
At Dr. Ankur Surgical Clinic, we follow a comprehensive diagnostic approach to confirm malaria quickly and accurately:
- Clinical Evaluation: Detailed history and physical examination.
- Blood Tests:
- Peripheral Blood Smear β Detects the malaria parasite directly.
- Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) β Provides results within minutes.
- Additional Tests (if needed): Liver function, kidney function, and CBC to assess severity.
π Time Required: Usually within 1β2 hours
π Reports: Same day
Early diagnosis allows for faster recovery and minimizes complications.
