Malaria is a very harmful infection for both the pregnant woman and the baby. If you turn out to be pregnant you should be treated by a specialist in infectious diseases, but no antimalarial medication should be started until clearance from the obstetrician is obtained as these medications may harm the fetus in early pregnancy. I think you should be treated by specialists at a university hospital
