Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2022\u00a0Malaria causes hemolytic anemia.
\u2022 The WHO recommends getting a hemoglobin test when undergoing malaria diagnostic testing.
\u2022 Risk factors that favor severe anemia: recurrent infections, poor nutrition, low weight and rickets, HIV co-infections, bacteremia, and intestinal worms that alter iron metabolism.
\u2022 Strengthen the immune system with nutrients: iron, vitamin B12, folic acid, vitamin A, zinc, vitamin C.
\u2022 Adequate nutrition, using local ingredients, to restore acceptable iron levels.
\u2022 Hydration: oral and intravenous fluids.
\u2022 Support from healthcare personnel with medications and assistance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
