Malaria

Malaria

Malaria is a common disease in the tropics , And spread in more than 91 different countries and affects about 250 – 300 million people in the world each year and the deaths of the disease about one million cases a year, mostly children.

Malaria causes a parasitic organism called plasmodium, and there are four distinct species of this parasite, the major proportion being the cause of the disease.

These types are:

1. Plasmodium falcipurum

2. Plasmodium vivax

3. Plasmodium oval

Plasmodium Malary.

Malaria is caused by a strong swab of mosquitoes or parasites that carry the disease, either benign or malignant, which in turn causes many of the damage that occurs in all organs of the body infected with malaria

Malaria spreads its toxins in the red blood cells, weakening and invading them.

The mosquito, which carries the disease of malaria and its cause, is difficult to eliminate, it has the strength to make it stand in front of all types of pesticides deadly and poisonous without being infected by something

The malaria mosquito is found in the regions of Europe, South and Central America, India and Africa, most commonly found in African regions

Malaria is very dangerous to the lives of its patients and can cause it to die at very high rates

There are two types of malaria and this is due to the type of parasite causing:

Malaria is benign

Malignant malignant malignancy reaches the patient to death.

1. Malaria is a common disease in tropical countries and is one of the leading causes of death in these areas.

2. The disease is caused by a parasite called plasmodium and needs an intermediary, a female Anopheles mosquito.

3 – Symptoms and signs of the disease is high fever and yellowing in the body and symptoms of anemia due to red blood cells explosion.

4 – Diagnosis of the disease after suspicion of the disease is by a picture of the blood of the patient.

5 – Prevention is better than treatment and is done by avoiding mosquitoes and drug prevention.

6 – treatment of the disease includes treatment for symptoms and signs and treatment against parasite

7. Misuse of anti-malarial drugs has led to increased host resistance
And thus to the increased risk of disease and deaths.
