Malaria is treated with prescription drugs to kill the parasite.
It can cause splenomegaly because of immune system responses.
Malaria may recur. Some varieties of the malaria parasite, which typically cause milder forms of the disease, can persist for years and cause relapses.
Antimalarial drugs include artemisinin drugs (artemether and artesunate). The best treatment for Plasmodium falciparum malaria, if available, is artemisinin combination therapy along with drinking plenty of fluids.
Malaria is caused by parasites, not by a virus or by a type of bacterium.
