What is the prognosis for dengue fever?

Answer 1

Brief Background malaria, caused by 4 different intracellular plasmodium parasites (Plasmodium falciparum, P.vivax, P.malariae, and P.ovale), is a world wide infection that affects 300 million and kills 1 million people each year. 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.pdf
Malaria can spread very fast and cause death within hours or days. It's mortality rate is around 20%. The prognosis depends on the severity of the malaria.

If the malaria isn't very serious, oral drugs can be used to treat it. If it is serious, drugs must be administered via a route alternative to the gastrointestinal tract like injection or infusion.

So the prognosis of malaria all depends on how serious the disease is which usually pertains to how fast you catch it.
