Why am I so weak and have low immune power?
Patient: i am a girl of 17yrs age.i am very thin.before i was in a normal weight but after malaria fever i became very thin.when i was studying 9thstd i got malaria.now my weight is 40.and i am suffering lot from cough.even i take little bit of ice i get cough easily.is there any problem?reply me Doctor: Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!           If I were your treating Doctor for this case of recurrent infections, I would say you that malaria is related to infection/mosquitoes and there is very less to do with immunity as single infection by malarial parasites doesn't give life-long immunity; chest infections/common colds are also infective but humoral immunity plays a great role here; might be you are deficient in some proteins/vitamins etc therefore you need to go for routine blood tests and immunoglobulin measurement for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!Hope this answers your question.
