A member asked:
Had a kidney transplant 6 months ago..can i go work in a malaria area and what happens if i get malaria? there is medical facilities
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: I would not recommend it as you are most likely on immunosuppression, such as cyclosporine. In addition, since it was only 6 months ago, i would wait. If it was 2-3 years, probably okay. But discuss with your transplant physician. Hope this helps.
