Malaria is the major cause of mortality and morbidity in the tropical and subtropical regions in the world. An estimated 300-500 million persons suffer from malaria every year and more than 1million die each year. Majority of these cases and deaths particularly those in children occur in Sub Saharan Africa. Unlike some of the other acute diseases such as encephalitis, meningitis, and most of the chronic diseases, patients of severe malaria can recover completely without any long term effects if treated promptly and correctly.
