Severe Malaria is caused by the parasites, not by a virus or by a type of bacterium. If it isn't treated, malaria can cause severe health problems such as seizures, brain damage, trouble breathing, organ failure and death. Bacterial pharyngitis is treated with antibiotics; and fungal pharyngitis, with antifungal medications. Prompt antibiotic therapy is needed for strep throat because untreated, it can sometimes cause kidney problems and rheumatic fever, which can damage the heart valves.
