Malaria is not contagious. It is a parasitic disease that lives inside female Anopheles mosquitoes. Infected Anopheles mosquitoes infect humans by biting into the skin (with their parasitic saliva) and transferring the disease into the blood cells of the human. Therefore, only infected mosquitoes can infect humans with malaria.
----------------------*EDIT*------------------------------
Malaria is in fact contagious. If you get a blood transfusion from someone with malaria, it is possible it can be passed on to you. But, as far as coughing and touching goes, no.
Para maiwasan na makagat ng lamok na aedes aegypti (uri ng lamok na nagkakalat ng Dengue Fever), laging magpahid ng mosquito repellant lotion. At kailangan din iwasan ang mga stagnant water o huwag magimbak ng mga tubig na maaring bahayan ng mga lamok.
Infected RBC trigger platelet to produce PF4 protein, which activate monocyte (Macrophage) to clear platelet from circulation by sequestration in spleen. which leads to high production of platelet (so giant platelet ) and decreased platelet on smear.

As malaria parasite inter in blood stream and infect and destroy red blood cell. due to this symptoms like chills, headache occurs.
Diseases which may be transmitted via kissing include mononucleosis and herpes, in which the infectious organism is present in saliva. Research indicates that contraction of HIV via kissing is extremely unlikely, however a woman has been infected with HIV by kissing in 1997; both the woman and infected man had gum disease (so transmission was through the man's blood, not saliva. ( Wikipedia ).
its something called plasma leakage. patient with just dengue didnt suffer plasma leakage, but the other with dengue hemorrhagic fever does. you can know whether someone get a plasma leakage from:
1. anamnese: difficult to breath (due to a pleural effusion), distended abdomen (due to an ascites)
2. phys. diagnostic: derivation of breathing sound, undulation test, edema, poor perfusion and shock sign
3. lab findings: hemoconsentration (higher Hb and PVC)
Flaviviruses are transmitted via arthropod vectors to humans.
Yellow fever, Dengue fever and Japanese encephalitis are mosquito-borne, while others are carried by ticks. There are a total of 69 pathogens within its genome.
Respiratory illness,persistent infections, drowsiness, headache, nausea, pain in the abdomen and swollen glands are some of the symptoms.
As an eruptive fever from warm climates, the word is probably of African origin, possibly Swahili 'dinga' meaning seizure or cramp
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.
Yes, in a small number of cases the disease develops into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in bleeding or into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low blood pressure occurs.
yes infact it may cause death
The incubation period of dengue fever is approximately four to seven days.
Dengue Nursing Interventions rely on following doctor's advise of increase in fluid intake for hydration (water specifically and avoiding coloured fluids that may mask bleeding), encouraging the patient to rest more so the body recovers form the pains and aches. Patient even after discharge from the hospital must still be under bleeding precautions. Use soft bristled toothbrush (or cotton instead) when doing oral care, not eating coloured food and fluids that may mask bleeding, monitoring s/s of bleeding as epistaxis (nosebleeding) , black stools or hematochezia (GIT bleeding),hematuria (blood in the urine), bruising and petechia. Avoid from instances where patinet will develop bruises like rouggh play and jarring of body parts against objects.
Body needs 3-3.5 ml of water daily( 3,000-3,500 ml of water) as the body has sensible and insensible water losses. More water intake though for patients who are sick like dengue cases. It surely aids in the speedy recovery of the patient.

If a patient is still under Dengue fever Grade 1 diagnosis, it is of dire importance that the patient do not progress to Dengue Hemmorhagic Fever as this is a deadly state wherein patient may really undergo blood transfusion. That is why in all cases of dengue (whatever grade it is in already, signs and symptoms of bleeding must be monitored). There will always be a 24 hour(sometimes a 12 hour) CBC check until parameters are within normal or at least until WBC is already in the fighting stage(In dengue fever cases, WBC goes down as this is a viral disease).Monitor platelet and WBC count.
