Abstract
All symptoms and signs of uncomplicated malaria are non-specific, as shared with other febrile conditions, and can occur early or later in the course of the disease. In endemic areas, the presence of hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenia and anaemia is clearly associated with malaria, particularly in children. Fever, cephalgias, fatigue, malaise, and musculoskeletal pain constitute the most frequent clinical features in malaria. Following single exposure to Plasmodium falciparum infection, the patient will either die in the acute attack or survive with the development of some immunity. Elderly individuals are prone to a more severe course of disease. The non-fatal P. vivax and P. ovale cause similar initial illnesses, with bouts of fever relapsing periodically, but irregularly over a period of up to 5 years. Renal involvement of a moderate degree is more common in mild falciparum malaria than initially suspected. The liver is also afflicted in mild disease, but organ damage is limited and fully reversible after parasitological cure. Whereas the cardiotoxic adverse effects of antimalarial chemotherapeutics are well known, clinically relevant cardiac involvement in humans is rare in severe disease and even rarer in uncomplicated falciparum malaria. Co-infection can aggravate malaria. There is a growing body of evidence that there is significant interaction in terms of mutual aggravation of the course of disease between HIV and malaria, particularly in pregnant women. Children with a high level of exposure to P. falciparum have a lower risk of developing atopic disorders.
