Malaria
LIFE CYCLE
Protozan parasites: Plasmodium
CLINICAL
uncomplicated malaria
severe flu-like illness
fever
malaria fevers are cyclical; synchronized with the bursting of merozoites into bloodstream
chills + sweating
head + body aches
nausea + vomiting + diarrhead
severe malaria
impaired consciousness/cerebral malaria
fits, prostration, coma
severe anaemia
respiratory distress
multi organ failure
renal failure
pulmonary oedema
death: 10-50% of cases
PATHOLOGY
EPIDEMIOLOGY
Hypoendemic
little transmission; sporatic, self-limiting outbreaks
little public health importance
poor development of immunity!
disease affects all ages equally
EX: China, Mexico
Mesoendemic
present in most areas; variable transmission intensity
generally of ph importance
development of immunity
disease doesn't effect older generations
EX: India, most of SE Asia
Hyperendemic
intense, widespread (but still seasonal transmission)
often a ph problem
development of good immunity
disease mainly of children
EX: African Saehl
Holoendemic
intense, widespread, seasonal variation is slight
can be #1 ph problem
good immunity
disease mainly <5s
EX: Humid, lowland tropical African
CONTROL
Prevention
VC!
IRS
LLINS/ITNs
ITNs provided 17% protective efficacy against mortality
about 5.5 lives saved per 1,000 under nets
treated nets can cut incidence in half
Treatment
Drugs!
parenteral
Quinine, artesunate (better)
orals
artesunate, quinine, chloroquine...
ACT: not affordable in African without subsidy
Diagnostics
microscopy
most accurate
requires lab and trained staff
rapid diagnostic tests
point of care diagnostic!
doesn't require lab or electricity; minimum training
based on antigen capture
no intensity result: just +/-
2 types: HRP-2 (persists after cure), LDH- negative 2 days after cure
PCR-based assays
serological tests
