The CDC webpage on the clinical features of malaria outlines the disease's presentation, categorizing it into uncomplicated and severe forms, and emphasizes that prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment can lead to a cure.
The CDC's "Malaria's Impact Worldwide" webpage provides an overview of malaria's global burden, highlighting that in 2022, there were approximately 249 million malaria cases and 608,000 deaths, predominantly among young children in sub-Saharan Africa. It emphasizes that nearly half the world's po...pulation is at risk, with malaria being a leading cause of illness and death in many affected countries. The page also discusses the significant economic and social costs of malaria on individuals, families, communities, and nations.
