I have a history of falciparum malaria. I had it 5 months ago. Back then, I was admitted in a hospital and was prescribed iv artesunate for a week along with some iv antibiotics and then a 14 day course of primaquine. I finished the entire course of medicines. Occasionally I get these weird symptoms like sudden itching on my back and head, fatigue, stomach cramps. And these weird symptoms began after I got malaria. So it makes me think that I still have asymptomatic malaria. Is it possible to have it without fever? And also I have read on google that falciparum malaria can increase your risk of burkitt's lymphoma? Is that true? I consulted my family physician regarding my concern about malaria but he dismissed everything I said saying that its just anxiety.
