Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
If I were your treating Doctor for this case of recurrent infections, I would say you that malaria is related to infection/mosquitoes and there is very less to do with immunity as single infection by malarial parasites doesn't give life-long immunity; chest infections/common colds are also infective but humoral immunity plays a great role here; might be you are deficient in some proteins/vitamins etc therefore you need to go for routine blood tests and immunoglobulin measurement for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
