Abstract
El paludismo o malaria es una enfermedad potencialmente mortal causada por parásitos del género Plasmodium, que se transmite al ser humano a través de la picadura del mosquito Anopheles. De las cinco especies capaces de producir malaria (Plasmodium.vivax, P.ovale, P.falciparum, P.malariae y P.knowlesi) P.falciparum es la más letal, ya que es la especie que más resistencias ha desarrollado y además es capaz de producir un tipo de paludismo más grave denominado malaria complicada. Por ello será la especie en la que nos centraremos en éste trabajo bibliográfico aportando datos sobre su prevalencia, clínica, profilaxis, tratamiento y nuevos fármacos.
Malaria is a disease that causes lot of death; it is caused by parasites of the genus Plasmodium, transmitted to humans through the bite of Anopheles mosquito. There are five species capable of producing malaria (P. vivax, P.ovale, P.falciparum, P.malariae y P.knowlesi) P.falciparum is the most lethal because it is the species most resistance has developed and it is capable of producing a more serious type of malaria called complicated malaria. This is why in this review we are going to focus in this species, providing data on its prevalence, clinical, prevention, treatment and new drugs.
