COMPOSITION DU DEUXIÈME TRIMESTRE

ÉPREUVE D’ANGLAIS

Text: Malaria

Malaria is an infectious disease transmitted by mosquitoes, and it is one of the commonest


causes of sickness and death in the world. In West Africa in general and particularly in Burkina
Faso, many people are victims of malaria. Pregnant women and children under five are the
most vulnerable to this disease which often causes death.

If an infected mosquito bites a person, parasites (protozoa) are injected into his bloodstream,
where they multiply rapidly. As the parasites multiply, they destroy the red cells of the blood,
and the victim suffers from an attack of fever. The symptoms of the attack are generally fever,
vomiting and headache.

If the disease is untreated, this may lead to complications that can cause death because of the
loss of blood cells and the exhaustion from repeated infection.

There are many drugs for treating malaria, all of which are very effective. Quinine was given to
patients as the standard cure, but now synthetic drugs, such as primaquine and chloroquine are
used.

Malaria can be prevented. Firstly, people should sleep under insecticide treated mosquito net.
Secondly, mosquitoes may be killed by insecticides. Finally, a person who is exposed to the
infection ought to protect himself/herself by taking small doses of an anti-malarial drug
regularly.
