According to the World Health Organization, severe or complicated malaria is a parasitic infection caused by a strain known as Plasmodium falciparum, although other infections such as P. vivax and P. knowlesi may occur as well. The type of infection may depend on the kind of mosquito carrying the disease. In some cases, symptoms may arise so quickly that early treatment is not possible. This is especially common in young children.
