[|Human|] When will the blood test give accurate result for malaria? My daughter started her fever last nite and she has spiked up again early this morning. I am going to request her pediatrician for a blood work. Is it too early to tell ? We travelled to Asia recently and that is the basis of my concern
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As your daughter is having the spikes of fever from last one day there are many conditions which can have these symptoms. The most common would be viral infections, malaria is one of the condition which can leads to spikes of fever. I would suggest you to wait for some more days and the fever may subside if it is due to some other etiology. It is very early to suspect malaria as you have visited Asia. The incidence of malaria has come down worldwide and your daughters spikes may be due to infection with other microorganism. So I would suggest you to wait for few more days by this time the fever would come down. Thank you.
