Four-day malaria (Quartan Fever)

Quartan Fever malaria is a form of malaria caused by the parasite Plasmodium malariae. The hallmark of this type of malaria is the four-day cycle of fever.

Symptoms of Quadriday malaria include recurrent bouts of chills, fever and sweating. The attacks recur every four days (hence the name “Four-day”). During the period between attacks, the patient usually feels normal.

Four-day malaria is usually not life-threatening. However, without treatment, it can become chronic, causing anemia, enlargement of the liver and spleen. Long-term chronic malaria is also associated with an increased risk of kidney failure.

The diagnosis of Quaternary malaria is made based on clinical manifestations and detection of P. malariae parasites in the blood. Treatment is with antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine or mefloquine. With timely treatment, the prognosis is usually favorable.

Prevention of malaria includes measures to prevent mosquito bites, as well as the use of antimalarial drugs by travelers in endemic areas. There is currently no vaccine against malaria.

Quartan fever malaria is a rare type of malaria that occurs in tropical and subtropical regions and is caused by the Plasmodium falciparum species. It is characterized by a longer illness period caused by the parasite's unique ability to survive in the human body for four days instead of the standard three. In this article we will look at the mechanism of Quartan malaria, its symptoms and treatment.

Four Days Fever malaria is caused by Plasmodia falciparum, a type of parasite that differs from other malaria parasites in its ability to survive inside human cells. During their life cycle, parasites change
