You have infection: but at the moment no evidence of malaria. However, it may take several tests to find this parasite. Ask the person who ordered the test whether to do it again and to check you for other types of infection. Good luck!

Need check up: Online consult is not adequate. May need to check with your doctor or infectious specialist since high neutrophils imply acute infection.The list that may cause your symptoms is long ranging from bacterial viral etc and may be even thru insect vectors, like ticks or mosquitoes; the treatment depends on the cause. So these symptoms may be a tiny window to your illness,include non-bugs. Take care.
