A member asked:
Would malaria infection create breathing difficulty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not initially: That would be an uncommon symptom initially, though it could occur eventually with severe malaria, since people who are severely anemic (which can be a consequence of malaria) breathe more rapidly to compensate for their anemia.
