Answer: In Cerebral Malaria, the brain becomes highly infected due to the blockage of
blood flow caused by clotted, infected red blood cells. This condition can lead to severe

antibodies, causing a decreasein their numbers and functionality, which can result in
complications like shock and fluid leakage.
5. How oftencan one get infectedwithchikungunya? Why?
Answer: Chikungunya typically infects a person once, as recovery usually results in
lifelong immunity. This is becauseonce the body has encountered the virus, it develops
immunity against futureinfections.

Short Notes
Malaria:
Malaria is a life-threatening diseasecaused by the Plasmodiumparasite, which is
transmitted through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Thereare several species
of Plasmodium, each causing varying severity of symptoms. Theparasite enters the
bloodstreamthrough the mosquito's saliva and infects red blood cells, leading to cycles of
fever, chills, and sweating. Severecases can result in complications such as cerebral
malaria, wherethe brain is affected due to blocked blood flow. Symptoms include high
fever, headache, nausea, and sometimes organ dysfunction like kidney problems.
Prevention involves mosquito controlmeasures such as bed nets treated with insecticide
and anti-malarial medications for travelers to endemic areas. Promptdiagnosis and
treatment with anti-malarial drugs areessential to preventprogression to severe disease
and death.
Dengue:
Dengue fever is caused by any of the four dengue virus serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3,
and DEN-4), which are transmitted primarily by Aedes mosquitoes. The virus infects white
blood cells and other immune systemcomponents, leading to a range of symptoms from
mild fever and body aches to severedengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome.
Severe cases can lead to plasma leakage, bleeding, and organ impairment, potentially
resulting in death if not managed promptly. Symptoms include sudden high fever, severe
headache, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, and skin rash. Thereis no specific
treatment for dengue; supportivecare to manage symptoms and closemonitoring for signs
of severedisease are crucial. Prevention focuses on vector control measures such as
eliminating mosquito breeding sites and using insect repellents and protective clothing.

14
Chikungunya:
Chikungunya is a viral diseasetransmitted to humans by infected Aedes mosquitoes. The
virus causes symptoms such as fever, jointpain, musclepain, headache, nausea, and rash.
Joint pain can be severeand debilitating (unbearable), lasting for weeks to months, and in
some cases, it can become chronic (long – lasting). Unlike dengue, chikungunya rarely
causes death, but it can severely affect quality of life during the acute phase. There is no
specific treatment for chikungunya; managementfocuses on relieving symptoms with pain
relievers, fluids, and rest. Prevention includes mosquito controlmeasures similar to those
for dengue, such as eliminating breeding sites and using repellents and protective clothing.
Once infected, individuals typically develop lifelong immunity againstthe virus.
