What Is Malaria?
8. Who’s At Risk Of Complications
Most people that catch malaria will make a full recovery, but not everybody is so lucky. Some groups of people will experience some very serious complications that are potentially life-threatening. This includes people that are very old, and people that are very young.
People that live in impoverished areas also tend to be at higher risk. This tends to be down to a lack of access to modern healthcare, and also a lack of education on keeping themselves safe. Pregnant women are also at higher risk, as are their unborn children. People that come from areas where the disease is not prevalent are also at a higher risk.
