    What is a Fever Profile for Malaria ?

    The Plasmodium parasites that cause Malaria infect female Anopheles mosquitoes, which in turn transmit the disease to people. The parasites multiply in the red blood cells, leading to symptoms such as persistent fever. Without treatment, malaria can cause severe complications and even death.

    The Fever Profile for Malaria is a diagnostic test recommended for patients suspected of having malaria. Malaria is typically characterised by a sudden onset of high fever, chills, and sweating—symptoms that correlate with the parasite's life cycle in the bloodstream. This Fever Profile helps distinguish malaria from other illnesses with similar fever symptoms by checking the blood for the malarial parasite and performing other tests to confirm the diagnosis.

    If you are in Hyderabad and suspect you may have been exposed to malaria, it’s important to get tested today. The Fever Profile for Malaria in Hyderabad can help detect the infection early and enable prompt treatment if necessary.

    Complete Blood Count (CBC)

    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.
