Can you please assist me urgently with malaria care?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I understand that you have been testing positive for malaria on multiple occasions. To better assess the situation, may I ask if you have undergone a series of malaria antigen tests? If so, it may be necessary to verify those reports for accuracy.

It is also important to ensure that your surroundings are free from mosquitoes, as they are the primary carriers (vectors) of malaria. Malaria is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium, which includes several species, some of which, like Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium ovale, can cause relapsing infections. These species may remain dormant in the liver and can reactivate after initial symptoms have resolved, especially once medication is stopped.

Reinfection due to a high mosquito population in your environment is also possible. If chloroquine treatment is not proving effective, alternative treatment regimens are available and can be considered based on your specific case.

Recommended investigations:

1. Malaria antigen test (repeat).

2. Complete blood count (CBC).

3. Abdominal ultrasound (USG abdomen).

Next steps: Once we have verified the latest test reports, we can discuss and finalize an appropriate treatment plan.

Preventive measures:

• Minimize exposure to mosquitoes by using repellents and bed nets.

• Avoid stagnant water around your home or workplace, as it can serve as a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need help scheduling the tests.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
