Malaria is a potentially deadly disease which can be transmitted to humans by a single mosquito bite. The most deadly form of malaria is due to a parasite called Plasmodium falciparum.
Increased prevention and control rules have led to a reduction in malaria mortality rates, though it is still a considerable obstacle in the world. Early diagnosis of malaria is important to preventing deaths. It also contributes to decreasing transmission of malaria. Here is some strange symptoms of malaria that you may not expect.
3Weakness and Fatigue
Once the malaria parasites get into your body, they go to the liver where they transform and start multiplying. The raised amounts of parasites then get back into the bloodstream and are moved to other parts of the body.
The parasites then get inside red blood cells within which they continue to multiply. Then, the infected red blood cell ruptures, releasing more parasites. As this cycle proceeds, the body loses growing numbers of red blood cells leading to less oxygen and energy delivery to tissues.
This leads to weakness and fatigue. Inadequate oxygen and power lead to most of the malaria symptoms including headache, muscular pain and abdominal pain.
