Malaria, presentation
Malaria, also known as malaria is a disease caused by a parasite. Nearly 225 million people are infected each year. This infection can cause death of the most fragile. Each year, malaria kills nearly one million people, mostly children. The situation is particularly tragic that malaria is highly treatable if treated in time. Most of the contamination is sub-Saharan Africa, where the need to take precautions when traveling in this region. Cause of malaria
Malaria is a parasitic disease, a disease created by the presence of a parasite in the human body. This, Plasmodium, is carried by certain mosquitoes (Anopheles). When one of these mosquito bites, it can transmit the parasite. Plasmodium will then grow and infect the liver cells. From there he will address the red blood cells (RBCs) and destroy them. There are five types of Plasmodium, which provide malaria intensity. The most severe form is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Other forms are usually benign (vivax, ovale, malariae and knowlesi). Symptoms of malaria
Symptoms of malaria are reported 7 to 15 days after the bite. The first attack of malaria is characterized by a fever, usually mild. It may be accompanied by headache, chills, muscle aches, diarrhea, cough and sometimes vomiting. In its severe form (Plasmodium falciparum), malaria mishandled can cause severe anemia, respiratory distress or harm to the brain (cerebral malaria). In adults, the parasite can spread to all organs. Some mild forms are called dormant, because they cause malaria attacks long after the first infection (Plasmodium vivax and ovale). Prevention against malaria
The parasite that causes the severe form of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa live mainly. However, there are Plasmodium throughout Africa, Asia, Latin America, Middle East and even Europe. People who usually live in malarial regions developed a natural immunity because of chronic infections. It must be very careful against by young children, pregnant women, AIDS patients and visitors arriving from non-malarial areas. To fight against mosquito bites (night), we must make use of insecticide-treated nets. It can be more spraying insecticides in the home. Systems which hinder brew air as mosquitoes. Finally, when night falls, you must wear long, loose, light colored, and avoid alcohol. It also applies repellents containing DEET on skin and clothing. For people who travel to infected areas, preventive treatment will be prescribed prior to departure. Malaria treatment
To counter the development of the Plasmodium falciparum form, apply as soon as a treatment known as ACT, which combines several antimalarial drugs. Indeed, some strains of P. falciparum have become resistant to some antimalarial drugs. We must therefore combine several treatments to maximize the chances of eradicating the parasite. The ACT can cure malaria in 95% of cases. The mild forms are treated the same way. In the dormant forms of malaria, treatment will be needed each crisis.
