Blood diseases

Middle daughter came back from Liberia with some kind of blood parasite which acts a lot like malaria. Were I the doc I'd load her up with all the anti-malarials I could find while trying to figure out what caused it, on the assumption that she's got a malarone-resistant malaria anyhow--but they want a diagnosis first.

At least I think that's what they're doing. Maybe they're trying phlebotomy: so far 10 vials of blood drawn.
