Clinical Information. A protozoan disease caused in humans by four species of the plasmodium genus: plasmodium falciparum; plasmodium vivax; plasmodium ovale; and plasmodium malariae; and transmitted by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus anopheles.
A clinical malaria case was defined as an individual with malaria-related symptoms (fever [axillary temperature ≥ 37.5°C], chills, severe malaise, headache or vomiting) at the time of examination or 1–2 days prior to the examination in the presence of a P. falciparum positive blood smear [19].
Causal prophylaxis Causal prophylactics target not only the blood stages of malaria, but the initial liver stage as well. This means that the user can stop taking the drug seven days after leaving the area of risk. Malarone and primaquine are the only causal prophylactics in current use.

The patient's primary diagnostic code is the most important. Assuming the patient's primary diagnostic code is Z76. 89, look in the list below to see which MDC's "Assignment of Diagnosis Codes" is first. That is the MDC that the patient will be grouped into.

Artesunate has been found to be the fastest-acting drug against blood forms of the malarial parasite, and so the IV form is especially valuable in the management of severe and complicated malaria.
Doxycycline is also appropriate; experience with long- term malaria prophylaxis is available for up to 6 months. The use of atovaquone-proguanil is restricted to 28 days in some countries, but clinical studies indicate that its use is suitable for at least 20 weeks.
Clinical trials indicate that the efficacy of primaquine is higher than 95% as terminal prophylaxis at doses of 30 mg daily for 14 days (in combination with a blood schizonticide such as chloroquine) and greater than 85% as prophylaxis [86].
The new drug, Krintafel (tafenoquine), prevents relapse of malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax), one of several parasites that causes the disease. Currently, patients with P. vivax require a 10-day treatment and many don't complete the regimen, leading to malaria recurrence.
