Plasmodium falciparum is the type of malaria that most often causes severe and life-threatening malaria
Malaria may cause anemia and jaundice (yellow coloring of the skin and eyes) because of the loss of red blood cells. If not promptly treated, the infection can become severe and may cause kidney failure, seizures, mental confusion, coma, and death.
Malaria is spread by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Malaria may also be spread by transfusion of blood from infected people or by the use of contaminated needles or syringes.
If your child has malaria you are advised to seek medical attention at the earliest.
Malaria can damage the kidneys or liver or cause the spleen to rupture. Any of these conditions can be life-threatening.
