What are the main symptoms of malaria? Is the mortality rate high?

Many people go on vacation to Southeast Asia during the summer.

You must definitely look for malaria mosquitoes in such cases!

 

 

Of course, malaria exists in Korea as well, but Southeast Asian malaria is even more frightening...ㄷㄷ

 

The main symptoms of malaria are as follows.

 

 

Fever, chills

Sudden onset of fever with a persistent high temperature above 38°C. The fever typically occurs every 48 hours and can last for 2 to 6 days.

 

Vomiting and diarrhea

Malaria can affect the digestive system, so it may be accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea.

 

In severe cases, muscle pain may also occur.

 

The main symptom of malaria in Korea is a pattern where one day there is a fever, the next day there is no fever, and then the following day the fever returns.

 

Malaria may not show symptoms immediately because its incubation period varies.

 

Please remember this information, and I hope you have a safe summer vacation!
