Relapse Malarial Middle

Malaria relapse is the reappearance of malaria after a period of remission. This can occur within several months after the completion of the primary paroxysm.

A relapse of malaria may be caused by the persistence of the malaria pathogen in the body - the parasite that causes the disease. As a result of repeated infection of the body by the parasite, the disease may occur again.

To prevent a relapse of the painting neighbor, it is necessary to follow disease prevention measures. This includes regular use of antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine, and avoiding contact with infected people and animals.

In addition, to prevent a recurrence of malaria, you should promptly consult a doctor when symptoms of the disease appear and treat malaria in accordance with the recommendations of a specialist.

Relapsing malaria is a condition in which there are repeated attacks of fever with symptoms characteristic of malaria. Research shows that more than 70% of patients with malaria can be cured once, but some develop relapses.

Recurrent malaria is a condition in which a person fell ill no earlier than one month before the onset of the disease, and without treatment within a year he becomes ill again. The initial disease usually occurs without severe complications, the temperature is normal or almost normal. Secondarily, the disease can be either more severe or milder, often with complications.

Half of the relapses occur in children under 5 years of age (they are more susceptible to recurrent diseases). Patients aged 5 to 30 years suffer from the second and subsequent diseases much less frequently. The incidence of the first relapse among children from 2 to 10 years of age reaches 18%, in adults who have reached 40-45 years of age and have suffered one relapse before - 6-10%.

The first disease most often develops in young children living in areas where the body's natural resistance is less or completely absent. The reason for this is usually microcirculatory disorders, hypovitaminosis C, frequent gastrointestinal disorders, anemia, and post-traumatic injuries. In addition, children's susceptibility to infection during illness increases, as a result of which their resorptive phenomena intensify.
