How Is Malaria Diagnosed?
Malaria is a blood-borne disease caused by Plasmodium parasite which is transmitted from one person to another by the bite of Anopheles mosquito. Once the infected mosquito bites a human, the parasites start multiplying in the host liver. Being the world’s deadliest disease, it remains one of the child killers on the planet.

Fast Facts on Malaria

The Anopheles Mosquito is the carrier of Malaria
Symptoms resemble flu, but, if left untreated can sometimes be fatal.
Travelers, hikers, and campers can protect themselves with nets, pest control and clothing.
Symptoms of Malaria

Malaria symptoms can be classified into two different categories – Uncomplicated and Severe

Uncomplicated symptoms: Diagnosis is done when symptoms are present, but, there is no signs of severe infection. Symptoms include:

Fever, headaches, and vomiting
The sensation of cold and shivering
Seizures
Sweats with a return to normal temperature and tiredness.
Severe Symptoms: In this case, evidence shows the sign of vital organ dysfunctions. Symptoms include:

Impaired consciousness
Fever and chills’
Multiple convulsions
Deep breathing
Clinical jaundice
Abnormal bleeding
Diagnosis of Malaria

Malaria diagnosis is done with the help of blood samples. Following are the method of diagnosis:

Clinical Diagnosis: This diagnosis is based on patient’s symptoms and physical findings. Physical findings symptoms include fever, nausea, vomiting, and headache which are not specific and are found in other diseases too. Clinical findings symptoms like coma, neurologic focal signs, severe anemia and respiratory difficulties are more striking and increase the suspicious of malaria. Clinical findings should be confirmed by a laboratory test for malaria.

Microscopic Diagnosis: In this method, a drop of patient’s blood is smeared on the microscopic slide. The specimen is then stained using Giemsa stain in order to give the parasite a distinctive appearance. It is then viewed under the microscope.

Antigen Detection: In order to detect antigen derived from malaria parasite, several test kits are available, these Rapid Diagnostic tests provide the useful alternative to microscopy. The kit must include a dipstick or cassette format and can provide results in 12-15 minutes. RDT can decrease the amount of time that is taken to determine the infection of the malaria patient.

Molecular Diagnosis: In this method, parasite’s nucleic acid is detected using Polymerase chain reaction. Though, it is the most useful for confirming the species of malaria parasite, but, its results are not available quickly enough

Diabetic Foot ulcer: Waa xaalad dhibaato cagaha ah oo ku xiran cudurka macaanka, kaas oo saameyn kara maqaarka ama qaabka cagta. waxa ay sababi karaan boogaha cagaha (nabaro furan), caabuq iyo isbedelka qaabka cagta.

Dhibaatooyinka cagaha ee sonkorowga ka dhasha waxaa keena dhaawaca neerfaha ama socodka dhiigga oo yarada, taas oo ka dhalan karta heerka sonkorta dhiigga oo sareesa waqtiyo badan.
Waxaa jira siyaabo kala duwan oo lagu kala saaro heerarka Nabarada cagaha iyadoo ku xiran darnaanta iyo nooca dhibaatada!.
Midka ugu caansan waa kala soocidda Wagner (Wagner classification) kaas oo darajooyinka boogaha cagaha ee sonkorowga ka bilaabaya 0 ilaa 5 heer:

- Heerka 0: Ma jiro boog, laakiin cagtu waxay halis ugu jirtaa dareen lumin( neuropathy), qalafsanaan, ama wareeg dhiigga oo xumado.
-Heerka 1: Boogaha sare ee maqaarka ama unugyada ka hooseeya oo aan lahayn caabuq ama dhimashada unugyada(gangrene).

- Heerka 2: Boogtu waxa ay ku fidaa seedaha, lafaha, ama hareeraha ayada oo aan lahayn caabuq.
- Heerka 3: Boog qotodheer oo leh caabuqa lafaha (osteomyelitis) ama leh malax ku jirta .

- Heerka 4: Qayb ka mid ah gangrene cagta oo saameeya suulasha ama cagaha h**e.
- Heerka 5: Cagta oo Gangrene wada noqota oona u baahanta in la gooyo.

☆Daawaynta iyo saadaalinta cagaha macaanku waxay ku xiran tahay heerka, nooca iyo meesha ay dhibaatadu tahay iyo sidoo kale caafimaadka guud iyo xakamaynta sonkorta dhiiggaaga.
Ogaanshaha h**e iyo daawaynta waa muhiim si looga hortago dhibaatooyinka loona wanaajiyo natiijooyinka boogaha cagaha ee ka dhasha macaanka.
