Hi,
Thank you for query.
Malaria takes 1-2 weeks and it depends on patient immunity and treatment.
You can take 2 weeks leave, Because post malarial infection most of the patients get dizziness,fatigue,arthritis on & off for 1 month.
Now a days chloroquine is preferred for malaria.
Get back if any query.
