In this case, a Male patient, aged 48 years presented with features of Pain in legs and lassitude for a long time. On laboratory investigation he was found to have a blood smear positive for Malarial parasite (Plasmodium vivax). [360hinduism.com]

He declared not having any particular complaint at presentation. [malariajournal.biomedcentral.com]

This clinical presentation is due to red blood cell rupture and subsequent merozoite release into the circulation. However in P. falciparum the timing of fevers tends to be less periodic. [southsudanmedicaljournal.com]

  Symptoms include apathy, periodic headaches, a feeling of illness, poor appetite, fatigue, and attacks of chills and fever. The symptoms are considerably milder, and attacks don't last as long as the first attack. [health24.com]

  Other features include headache abdominal pain and on rare occasions may suggest an “acute abdomen”, vomiting (3) a dry cough. If this occurs then typhoid must be considered in the differential diagnosis. [southsudanmedicaljournal.com]

  Malaria causes symptoms that typically include fever, fatigue, vomiting, and headaches. In severe cases it can cause yellow skin, seizures, coma, or death. Symptoms usually begin ten to fifteen days after being bitten. [dbpedia.org]

  Shaking and chills are followed by fever of up to 105 °F (40.6 °C), with severe headache and then profuse sweating as temperature returns to normal. Patients often have anemia, spleen enlargement, and general weakness. Complications can be fatal. [seslisozluk.net]

  Introduction The haematological changes seen in patients with malaria, include anaemia, neutropenia, reactive lymphocytosis, monocvtosis, eosinopenia, neutrophil leukocytosis and thrombocytopenia. [jpma.org.pk]

  Leukocytosis, severe anemia and hypotension are more in favour of splenic rupture. Ultra sound evaluation of abdomen and paracentesis of the abdomen can confirm the diagnosis. [malariasite.com]

  Leukocytosis is rarely seen but is an indicator of a poor prognosis when present. G6PD activity - prior to giving primaquine (see 'Treatment of non-falciparum malaria', below). LFTs - often abnormal. [patient.info]

Again, as with P. malariae, treatment should kill off even the last few parasites, thus breaking the chronic infection, but in many places, P. falciparum has become resistant to the main forms of treatment. [malaria.com]

The combination of renal failure and jaundice carries a particularly grave prognosis (5). [southsudanmedicaljournal.com]

What is the prognosis of malaria? If diagnosed early and if the appropriate antimalarials are available and used, the prognosis of malaria is very good. Worldwide, malaria is responsible for over 400,000 deaths per year. [medicinenet.com]

Prognosis If left untreated, or where treatment is delayed, malaria may be fatal. However, the picture is improving. [patient.info]

Prevention Preventing mosquito bites while in the tropics is one possible way to avoid malaria. Several researchers are currently working on a malarial vaccine, but the complex life cycle of the malaria parasite makes it difficult. [chronicsorethroats.blogspot.com]
