Comprehensive Malaria & Dengue Treatment in Morgan Hill

Malaria and Dengue are mosquito-borne infections that can cause severe illness if not detected and treated early. While Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites, Dengue is caused by the Dengue virus (DENV). Both diseases can lead to high fever, body pain, and complications such as organ failure in severe cases. At Savera, we specialize in diagnosing and managing Malaria and Dengue with advanced testing, personalized treatment plans, and preventive care. Led by Dr. Meenu Vaid, we proudly serve the Morgan Hill and Bay Area communities with expert infectious disease care.

We emphasize early intervention, symptom relief, and preventive measures to ensure the best outcomes for our patients. Our clinic stays updated with the latest treatment protocols and vector control strategies to offer comprehensive care.

Malaria is caused by a parasite transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes, while Dengue is caused by a virus spread through Aedes mosquitoes. Both cause fever and body aches but require different treatments.

The RTS,S malaria vaccine is available in some regions. A Dengue vaccine (Dengvaxia) exists but is limited to those with previous infection.

Mild cases can be managed with hydration and fever control, but severe cases require hospitalization and close monitoring.

Use insect repellents, wear long-sleeved clothing, sleep under mosquito nets, and eliminate stagnant water sources to reduce mosquito breeding.
