Key points

  • Treatment is matched to the parasite, so a worm, a protozoal infection and malaria call for different medicines.
  • Malaria is an emergency rather than a self-treated illness, and the WHO maintains treatment guidelines for it.
  • Some intestinal worm treatments are repeated after an interval to catch the next stage of the life cycle.
