CertifiedLabsMalaria is a disease caused by the Plasmodium parasites, which are transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. The malarial parasites proliferate in the red blood cells and typically cause symptoms like persistent fever. If untreated, malaria can lead to severe complications and cause death.
The Fever Profile for Malaria is a diagnostic test for patients suspected of having malaria. Malaria is characterised by a sudden onset of high fever, chills, and sweating—that correspond to the life cycle of the parasite in the bloodstream. The fever profile helps differentiate malaria from other febrile illnesses by checking the blood for the malarial parasite and other tests to confirm the diagnosis of malaria.
The Complete Blood Count (CBC) is a common blood test that measures various parameters of the blood, including red blood cells (which carry oxygen), white blood cells (which fight infection), and platelets (which help blood clot). It also checks the hemoglobin, hematocrit, and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) to provide information about the blood's overall health.
