The disease is divided in terms of symptoms and signs to:
1. Malignant or dangerous disease caused by plasmodium falcipurum
2 – the benign disease caused by the rest of the species
Serious illness

1 – high temperature associated with the feeling of trembling with severe sweating, nausea and vomiting
2 – yellowing and signs of anemia (general weakness, jaundice, headaches and sometimes loss of consciousness)
3 – enlargement of the liver and spleen
The disease is accompanied by many serious complications:
1 – Malaria coma (cerebral malaria)
2 – convulsions
3 – severe anemia
4 – acute deficit in the liver and kidneys
Frequent bleeding
6. Hypoglycemia and blood acidity
Benign disease
The symptoms and signs of this disease in the first stage are similar to the signs and symptoms of the malignant disease at the beginning, and the symptoms and signs of the explosion of red blood cells are less dangerous than the malignant disease
With no serious contagion in this disease.
The symptoms of malaria appear only after 8 to 10 days after the blast of red blood cells from the attack of the parasite causing malaria.
