Why a person becomes pale after malaria?

Why a person becomes pale after malaria?

PROF WAQAR HUSSAIN

         

          It is a febrile disease caused by a parasite plasmodium transmitted by mosquito of genus Anopheles. The parasite, thus injected, attacks the red blood corpuscles and complete its life cycle there and its young ones rapture away the covering of the red blood cell, and come out to the blood stream and shivering, fever and other symptoms initiate. So, in malaria, red blood corpuscles  are destroyed and due to their scarcity, the patient looks pale.
