A member asked:
Should i see a specialist for anopheles mosquito bite i got on vacation? i am concerned about malaria.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risk of malaria: Were you on vacation in an endemic area? Did you take prophylactic anti-malarials? How do you know it was anopheles? Lots of questions which should be addressed by a tropical/travel physician specialist or if unavailable at least an infectious disease doc.
