Because the malaria parasite is found in the red blood cells of an infected person, malaria can also be transmitted through blood transfusion, organ transplant, or the shared use of needles or syringes contaminated with blood.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a C1 ESTERASE INHIBITOR Test or Take a APOLIPOPROTEIN EVALUATION PANEL WITH LIPOPROTEIN A Test
