Malaria diagnosis

General information about malaria

Malaria is a common disease in tropical countries and causes death in those areas.
This disease causes a parasite called plasmodium, and requires an intermediary that is an anopheles mosquito female.
There are several symptoms and signs of the disease, including: high temperature, yellowing of the body, anemia caused by a burst of red blood cells.
This disease is diagnosed by taking a picture of the patient’s blood.
This disease is prevented by avoiding mosquitoes and taking medicines.
Treatment of the disease depends on the nature of symptoms and signs visible to the patient.
Misuse of antimalarial drugs increases the host’s resistance to these drugs, thus increasing the risk of the disease and causing deaths.

When there is a suspicion of malaria, there are several tests that can be conducted to confirm the presence of the disease, including:

Take a picture of the patient’s blood to detect the host that appears under the microscopic microscope
Complete examination of blood cells. This test shows anemia and a decrease in platelets
The sugar test shows a decrease in its level
Blood pH test, showing an increase in acidity
Check renal function;
