Diagnosis
Diagnosis of malaria can be difficult. However, doctors use special blood tests to identify malaria. Doctors watch for symptoms of malaria such as dehydration, convulsions, anemia and failures or problems with the liver, kidneys, spleen, and brain. The patient would need fluids, blood transfusions, and help with inhaling and exhaling.
