Malaria is a serious disease caused by a parasite that is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito. It can cause severe symptoms and can be fatal, especially in children and pregnant women. Factors that make children more susceptible to malaria include low immunity, certain genetic traits, and breastfeeding. There are two main forms of malaria: simple or uncomplicated malaria, which can cause symptoms such as fever, chills, and muscle aches; and severe or complicated malaria, which can cause more severe symptoms such as coma, seizures, and heart failure. Cerebral malaria is a form of severe malaria that can cause unconsciousness or altered sensorium.
