Is Malaria Incurable?

June 6, 2012 By Malaria Q&A Leave a Comment

QUESTION

is malaria incurable?

ANSWER

No. Malaria can usually be very easily treated, if diagnosed early and if appropriate medication is given promptly.

The World Health Organization recommends artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) as the first line treatment against uncomplicated malaria; intravenous quinine is usually the first-line recommended treatment for severe, complicated malaria.
