Malaria: Fatality Risk And Treatment Posted: 12-09-07 19:53pm
someone i know recently was hospitalized
for having malaria. he has the most severe
strain and is being transfered to another
hospital which has the intravenous
treatment that he needs. with this
treatment and proper observation what is
the risk of fatality?
i ask because stats say 20% fatality, but
i live in canada and would assume that due
to a 1st world health care system, the
fatality rate be a lot less when compared
to a worldwide statistic
