What is Malaria?
Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites, which are transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. The biomarker for malaria is the presence of the malaria parasite itself in the blood.
Why should you get tested for Malaria?
Testing for malaria is crucial when experiencing fever, chills, and flu-like symptoms, especially if you have recently been in an area where malaria is endemic. Early detection and treatment of malaria prevent severe illness and reduce the chance of death.
What does it indicate?
The presence of the malaria parasite in the blood indicates an active malaria infection. The test can specifically identify the type of malaria parasite, which is important for choosing the correct treatment.
What does a high level of Malaria mean?
A high level of malaria parasites in the blood may indicate a severe infection, which, if left untreated, can lead to complications such as anemia, organ failure, and death.
What does a low level of Malaria mean?
A low level of malaria parasites may indicate an initial infection or an infection responding to treatment. It is important to know that even a low number of parasites can cause health problems and must be treated.
