even after having malaria treated can it come back?

Two kinds of malaria P.vivax (up to 3 years) and P. ovale (up to 1 1/2 years) can relapse because both can form hypnozoites which can reactivate the parasite's life cycle. You can go here for more information. http://www.emedicine.com/PED/topic1357.htm The flu is not likely to be a trigger because it is a viral disease and malaria is not. There is another kind of relapse that doesn't involve hypnozoites in P. malariae that can occur up to 20 years after original infection. It is a very complex disease. You would do well to see a physician if you believe you may be relapsing. That's a much better choice than seeking medical advice here. Relapsing strains may be drug resistant.

yes u need to keep away from young children and plder adults also those is immuno supression. it can take up 2 2 years to recover from it. i'm still recovering now and had it 9 months ago. it can go undeteced in your system for up2 6 months so my GP said. so if i were u i would tuck ur self up into bed and have a good rest.

Where are you from.  Ive learned in Nursing school that people in malaria stricken countries develop different blood cells that can deal with malaria and sometimes are born with different blood cells that make them naturally resistent to Malaria

Malaria is a mosquito borne disease caused by the protozoan Plasmodium.The life cycle of malarial parasite comprises 2 phases namely the asexual phase in human & sexual phase in the female anopheles mosquito(Definitive host).\n\nIn the asexual phase,the parasite undergoes asexual multiplication in the liver & blood. Man acts as the intermediate host. Initially when an infected mosquito bites,the plasmodium is introduced into the humanbody in the form of Sporozoites.The sporozoites pass into blood stream & after, abt 30 minutes they disappear from the blood & reach the liver parenchymal cells(hepatocytes).\n\nInside the liver cells,the sporozoites become rounded. Their nuclei undergo repeated divisions & daughter nuclei are surrounded by the cytoplasm.This stage,the parasite is called Schizont.\n\nThe schizonts burst & release the merozoites.The liberated merozoites then invade the RBCs to start the erythrocytic schizogony(multiple asexual reproduction).In the erythrocytes the merozoites passes thro' 1.Signet ring stage 2.Amoeboid stage 3.Rosette stage 4.Schizoint stage. This results in malarial fever.

Not usually.\nOnce we have recovered from a bacterial or viral infection our body's defense system can very quickly protect us against a second attack - this is 'natural immunity'.\nWe make use of this mechanism in immunisation by injecting (usually) weakened or inactive microbes (or part of a microbe) which creates an immune response - production of antibodies. We are immune to future attacks.\n\nA second dose of a disease is unlikely but possible - I have had measles twice!\nScarlet fever is easily treated with antibiotics, though I've had this too. It is not pleasant.\n\nHave a look here:

once an infection gets into the blood and you become septic you have a small window of time to get on antibiotics. If the infection passes a certain point they cant stop it even with drugs. It is very common although most people seek treatment before its to late. I went throught the same thing . I thought i had the flu. i was vomiting and could not get warm i was shaking with the chills. i just thought i was a real bad case of the flu. Except i had a small red,warm spot on my arm. The fact that it was warm concerned me.( t=i thought it was a bug bite) I called the dr. and he made me come in. i draged my behind there and he drew blood and sent me to the hospital. for 14 days of antibotic. I was already septic it was from getting pincked by a rose torn while working in the garden. (i dont any more) He said i had 2 days and if i wouldnt have gone in when i did i most likeily would have died. I was so sick believe me at the time i thought death looked real good. They kept me in the hospital 15 days. I had 14 days of the intreviounes antibiotics and constant blood tests. If they dont treat it for 14 days the infection can hide some where in the body. usually the brain and then manifest its self again later. People dont want to bother with the dr. because they think they can fight off something andsave the expence. Not me Not any more. I go and get check out right away or ant least call and discuss it with him. I will pray for your friend and keep him in my prayers as i also have a friend in the UK who is suffering from the same thing and hopefully will pull through. Infections are nothing to fool around with. Jim Hensen for the Muppets creator died of an infection too. In in daught seek medical help always.

Malaria means "bad air."  It is caused by a parasite of the genus Plasmodium. There are four species that cause it: P. vivax, P. ovale, P. falciparium, and P. malariae.\nThese parasites are injected into your body during the bite of a Anophelese mosquito, or they can be passed from mother to baby.  \nOnce in the body, the parasites infect your liver, then your red blood cells.  Infected cells become filled with young parasites and burst open - killing the cell in the process.\n\nAll I know about the treatment of Malaria is that it can cause a G-6-PD deficiency anemia in some genetically predispositioned folks.  Sorry.

Normally those operations don't have that much risk more that the tend to come back after about a year, unfortunately  :-(\nGet a second opinion from another specialist or try to look it up on the net.

Can TB Re-occur?\n\nYes it is possible. Like any bacterial infections, it can be caught and cured more than once. So if you have any doubts, please consult your local doctor.

Malaria is caused by the small protozoan, Plasmodium. Humans (or other hosts) become infected when bitten by\na female Anopheles mosquito. Sporozoite stages of the parasite are found in her saliva and are transmitted to the new\nhost’s bloodstream as she feeds upon them. From here, the parasites infect red blood cells and liver cells. The sporozoites\ndivide repeatedly by multiple fission (schizogeny) to produce thousands of merozoites. These then infect more red\nblood cells and divide again. The life cycle of Plasmodium is completed when these merozoites form male and female\ngametocytes. At night, the Anopheles mosquito may bite an infected human, ingesting these gameocytes. Inside the\nmosquito, the gametocytes fuse to form zygotes that burrow through the wall of the stomach and form cysts. Within a\ncyst, sporozoites form and eventually migrate to the salivary glands of the mosquito, ready to infect a new host.\nInfected cells eventually rupture, releasing the merozoites and their metabolic wastes into the bloodstream of the\nhost. This induces shaking, chills and a burning fever. These symptoms eventually subside but can recur when more cells break open with merozoites. If left untreated, the victim may develop enlargement of the liver and spleen, leading to\ndeath in severe cases.

It's not necessarily a question of "coming back," but rather of "was it actually removed."  More often than not, even well-meaning surgeons do not recognize the disease in all manifestations and/or leave implants behind because they do not feel confident in treating them (for example, on the bowel).  The other point to consider is whether the disease was treated through ablation or other superficial surgical means (fulguration, coagulation, vaporization, etc.).  Studies show if not completely and thoroughly excised (very different from ablation, etc.), symptoms will recur rapidly because the disease was only superficially treated.  Best bet is to seek out a qualified surgeon who treats Endo through surgical excision.  Feel better and remember you're not alone!

Yes, it's very treatable.  I don't know of anyone that has had this done that had it come back.  \n\nI know you're scared.  Stuff like this can be scary at times.  But chances are in your favor that you will be just fine.

You have 2 options and both involve going to the doctor. First option: Go to the doc and get an Rx for medication that is specifically for the treatment of onychomycosis (nail fungus), You'll be on these pills for at least 3 months and will require regular blood work to make sure the medicine doesn't mess up your liver. Even if the nail fungus goes away, there is no guarantee that it won't come back Second option: Go to a podiatrist and have the nails removed. Again, if the nails grow back the nail fungus may return. You can request that the doc remove the nails and destroy the nail bed, then the nail won't grow back and if you have no nail you will have no nail fungus.

Short answer: After treatment, blood cancer can go away for a long time and possibly never come back.  When this happens, patients may say they are cured.    \n\nLong answer:\nLeukemia may be the most widely known blood cancer, but there are other major blood cancers such as Hodgkins and Non-Hodgkins lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Cancer patients undergo treatments (chemotherapy, radiation, alternative therapy etc) so that they can put their cancer into remission.  Remission means that the disease has disappeared or is no longer growing. After remission cancer can come back, but this varies from case to case.  Some cancers are called "very curable" because they respond well to treatment and often stay away after remission.  Once cancer has been in remission for a long time, many patients will say they are cured.  Doctors usually avoid saying that cancer is "cured" because they don't want to promise that the cancer will never come back.  However, according to one radiologist, the longer a cancer is in remission the less likely it will gome back.\n\nIn cases where cancer is believed to be hereditary, cancer can still be put into long term or permanent remission.  The biggest factors are the type of cancer, the stage and agressiveness of one's particular cancer, and one's overall health.
