According to the World Health Organisation 90% of deaths from Malaria occur in sub-saharan Africa where Malaria is the leading cause of death in children younger than 5 years old. Prognosis will vary depending on geographical location but in general: * Most patients with uncomplicated malaria exhibit marked improvement within 48 hours after the initiation of treatment and are fever free after 96 hours. * Only P falciparum infection carries a poor prognosis with a high mortality rate if untreated. However, if diagnosed early and treated appropriately, the prognosis is excellent. For treatment guidelines from the World Health Organisation see below: http://www.who.int/malaria/docs/TreatmentGuidelines2006.pdfMalaria can spread very fast and cause death within hours or days.
