Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that affects millions of people globally, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. As an infectious disease specialist at Patna Physician and Diabetes Clinic, I’m committed to raising awareness about malaria and its prevention in our community.

Understanding Malaria Transmission

Malaria spreads through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. These mosquitoes carry Plasmodium parasites, which enter your bloodstream when bitten. The parasites then invade and multiply within red blood cells.

Symptoms to Watch Out For

Malaria symptoms typically develop within 10-15 days after infection. Be aware of these signs:

• High fever
• Chills
• Sweating
• Headache
• Nausea and vomiting
• Fatigue

Importance of Early Diagnosis and Treatment

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent severe complications from malaria. If you experience these symptoms after traveling to a high-risk area, seek immediate medical attention. Early intervention significantly improves treatment outcomes.

Preventive Measures You Can Take

Fortunately, several steps can help prevent malaria:

• Mosquito Bite Prevention: Apply insect repellent containing DEET or picaridin, wear long-sleeved clothing and pants, and sleep under insecticide-treated mosquito nets, especially during travel.
• Malaria Medication: If you’re planning a trip to a high-risk area, consult your doctor about taking preventive antimalarial medication.
