1. ROLL BACK MALARIA AND
STOP TB
Presented by: Group 1

2. WHAT IS
MALARIA?
Malaria is a serious and sometimes fatal
disease caused by a parasite that
commonly infects a certain type of
mosquito which feeds on humans. People
who get malaria are typically very sick
with high fevers, shaking chills, and flu-
like illness.

3. Symptoms of malaria include fever
and flu-like illness, including
shaking chills, headache, muscle
aches, and tiredness.
Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
may also occur.
WHAT ARE
THE
SYMPTOMS
OF MALARIA?

4. REMINDERS
FOR MALARIA:
•Go to the nearest
Hospital/Clinic if
ever the symptoms
occur.
Malaria is a
potentially serious
parasitic infection
transmitted through
the bite of an infected
mosquito.
•People get malaria
by being bitten by
an infective female
Anopheles
mosquito.
•Malaria is different
from Dengue.
•Severe
complications of
malaria can occur
within hours or days
of the first
symptoms.
•It nearly kills 1
million a year.

5. MALARIA:
PREVENTIONS AND
TREATMENTS
Although it kills nearly one million people every
year, malaria is preventable and curable. Some of
the main methods of prevention are:
• Insecticide-treated bed nets.
• Health
Education.
• Environmental methods;
Getting rid of pools of stagnant water and clearing bushes
from around houses

6. MALARIA:
PREVENTIONS AND
TREATMENTS
Although it kills nearly one million people every
year, malaria is preventable and curable. Some of
the main methods of prevention are:
•The following ACTs are recommended:
- Artemether + lumefantrine; artesunate +
amodiaquine; artesunate + mefloquine;
artesunate + sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine,
and dihydroartemisinin + piperaquine.
(DOH RECOMMENDED.)

7. HOW IS MALARIA
TREATED?
There are several efficient medications available to treat malaria,
but prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
Getting to a clinic late results in the majority of children's
fatalities from acute malaria.
Malaria can typically be cured if treated promptly, although some
varieties of the disease can be lethal within days or even hours
once they emerge.
Those who live may nevertheless experience long-term health
issues.

8. WHAT IS
TUBERCULOSIS?
Tuberculosis (TB)
is a disease caused by germs that are spread
from person to person through the air.
TB usually affects the lungs, but it can also
affect other parts of the body, such as the
brain, the kidneys, or the spine.

9. HOW TB
SPREADS?
TB is spread through the air from one
person to another. The TB germs are passed
through the air when someone who is sick
with TB disease coughs, laughs, sings, or
sneezes. If you breathe air that has TB
germs, you may get TB infection.

10. LET’S DISCUSS!
WHAT’S THE MAIN COURSE OF TB?
TUBERCULOSIS (TB) IS CAUSED BY A TYPE OF
BACTERIUM CALLED MYCOBACTERIUM
TUBERCULOSIS. IT'S SPREAD WHEN A PERSON
WITH ACTIVE TB DISEASE IN THEIR LUNGS
COUGHS OR SNEEZES AND SOMEONE ELSE
INHALES THE EXPELLED DROPLETS, WHICH
CONTAIN TB BACTERIA.

11. The general symptoms of TB disease
include feelings of sickness or
weakness, weight loss, fever, and
night sweats. The symptoms of TB
disease of the lungs also include
coughing, chest pain, and the
coughing up of blood.
WHAT ARE THE
SYMPTOMS OF
TB?

12. The most common treatment for
active TB is isoniazid INH in
combination with three other
drugs—rifampin, pyrazinamide and
ethambutol.
