Is malaria worse than usual in L & C Kurram?

Dooram can't tell yet. Too few of L & C Kurram's clinics reported in the last four weeks and in the same weeks of the last two years.

5.0 cases reported in week 39, when 32% of its clinics sent a report.

"Usual" is the same four weeks of the two years before. In 6 of those 8 weeks, fewer than half of L & C Kurram's clinics sent a report, so the cases they show are not L & C Kurram's usual, only how little was reported. In 4 of the last four weeks, fewer than half of its clinics sent a report, so a low count may only mean few reports. Dooram leaves out any week when fewer than half the clinics reported, and here too few weeks are left to compare.

What is malaria?

Malaria is a serious illness caused by a tiny parasite carried by some mosquitoes. It can be prevented and cured.

Signs
Fever, chills and headache, usually 10 to 15 days after the bite. At first it can look like many other fevers.
How it spreads
Through the bite of an infected mosquito. It does not pass from person to person in everyday life.
How to protect yourself
Sleep under insecticide-treated nets, spray homes, use repellent, and cover up. Malaria vaccines protect young children in some areas. Travellers can take preventive medicine.
Get medical help
Get tested quickly for any fever where malaria is found. Go to emergency care for extreme tiredness, confusion, fits, hard breathing, dark pee, yellow skin or unusual bleeding.

Malaria in every country Dooram reads ›

A reported case means someone reached a clinic and a form was filed, so these count reports, not everyone who was ill.
