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 red blood cell, and comes out to the blood stream and shivering, fever and other symptom initiate. So, in malaria, RBC is destroyed and due to scarcity of red blood corpuscles, the patient looks pale.
