SYMPTOMS OF MALARIA
-
Typically, malaria produces fever, headache, vomiting and other flu-like
symptoms.
-
The
parasite infects and destroys red blood cells resulting in easy
fatigue-ability due to anemia, fits/convulsions and loss of
consciousness.
-
Parasites are carried by blood to the brain (cerebral malaria) and to
other vital organs.
-
Malaria in pregnancy poses a substantial risk to the mother, the fetus
and the newborn infant. Pregnant women are less capable of coping with
and clearing malaria infections, adversely affecting the unborn fetus.
