    What is a Fever Profile for Malaria ?

    Humans contract Malaria from infected female Anopheles mosquitoes, which are spread by Plasmodium parasites. Once inside the body, the malarial parasites multiply in red blood cells, leading to symptoms such as persistent fever. If left untreated, malaria can result in severe complications and can even be fatal. The Fever Profile for Malaria is a diagnostic test used when malaria is suspected in a patient. Malaria typically presents with a sudden onset of high fever, chills, and excessive sweating, corresponding to the parasite’s life cycle in the bloodstream. The fever profile helps differentiate malaria from other febrile illnesses by analysing the blood for the presence of the malarial parasite and confirming the diagnosis through other relevant tests.

    If you're located in Mumbai and suspect malaria exposure, it's important to take action today. Early detection and treatment can help prevent severe outcomes if the infection is confirmed through a Fever Profile for Malaria in Mumbai.

    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.
