Question

How are the symptoms of malaria different from dengue?

Answer 1

There are very subtle differences between these mosquito borne diseases and one of the major differences is the type and frequency of fever a patient experiences. In case of dengue, a patient suffers from high fever that appears and subsides quickly only to reappear with rashes, and in case of dengue hemorrhagic fever along with bleeding is observed. In malaria, the patient suffers from high fever, most predominantly in the evenings with chills followed by sweating in quick succession. In both conditions the patient experiences a temperature of about ${102}^{\circ }$.
