“HOW TO DETERMINE MALARIA SYMPTOMS”
• 1. She or Her got fever
Professor Dr. Inge sutanto, MPhil, of the
commission of diagnoologists and treatment
malaria explains the first symptom that can
emerge is high fever. The symptoms usually
appear about two weeks after the malaria
parasite ingested a mosquito bite.High body
temperature above 37,5 °C. It can even go to
41°C.
• 4. Chills
Despite a fever in the body, malaria patients
themselves can feel from the cold to the chills. This
is because the body's natural effects are trying to
fight off infection by raising internal temperatures as
high as possible. Substances called pyrogens trigger
brain signals throughout the body to perform such
activities as shaking, dilating blood vessels, to the
effect that we are cold in order to close close to a
blanket or some other heat source.
• 5. She or Her will have a headache
A study in the journal acta neurologica taiwanica
2009 mentions that severe headaches may also
be symptoms of malaria. Researchers believe
this is possible because of the lymphatic
compounds produced in the case of acute
malaria. A headache when contracted malaria is
caused by a virus that then infects the brain.
• 6. Muscleache
According to a study published in malaria
journal 2016, researchers say that malaria
parasites can attack the human skeletal and
muscle systems. The effects of a malarial patient
may show signs of aching muscles. Your muscle
health may also suffer because of malaria. A
virus from malaria will pull out all the fluids in
the muscle and make your muscles ache.
