Malaria
  1. LIFE CYCLE
    1. Protozan parasites: Plasmodium
    2. CLINICAL
      1. uncomplicated malaria
        1. severe flu-like illness
          1. fever
            1. malaria fevers are cyclical; synchronized with the bursting of merozoites into bloodstream
            2. chills + sweating
              1. head + body aches
                1. nausea + vomiting + diarrhead
              2. severe malaria
                1. impaired consciousness/cerebral malaria
                  1. fits, prostration, coma
                  2. severe anaemia
                    1. respiratory distress
                      1. multi organ failure
                        1. renal failure
                          1. pulmonary oedema
                          2. death: 10-50% of cases
                        2. PATHOLOGY
                          1. EPIDEMIOLOGY
                            1. Hypoendemic
                              1. little transmission; sporatic, self-limiting outbreaks
                                1. little public health importance
                                  1. poor development of immunity!
                                    1. disease affects all ages equally
                                      1. EX: China, Mexico
                                      2. Mesoendemic
                                        1. present in most areas; variable transmission intensity
                                          1. generally of ph importance
                                            1. development of immunity
                                              1. disease doesn't effect older generations
                                                1. EX: India, most of SE Asia
                                                2. Hyperendemic
                                                  1. intense, widespread (but still seasonal transmission)
                                                    1. often a ph problem
                                                      1. development of good immunity

                                                            1. intense, widespread, seasonal variation is slight
                                                              1. can be #1 ph problem
