Tertian Fever Malaria

Tertian fever malaria is a form of malaria that is caused by the parasite Plasmodium vivax. This form of malaria gets its name because symptoms appear every 48 hours, or every three days.

The parasite Plasmodium vivax is transmitted through the bites of the Anopheles mosquito, which transmits the disease. Once the parasite enters a person's blood, it begins to multiply in the liver and then infects red blood cells.

Symptoms of three-day malaria include repeated bouts of fever that last up to 6 hours, then the body temperature drops and a phase of sweating occurs. Patients may also have headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness, muscle pain and jaundice.

The diagnosis of three-day malaria is established on the basis of clinical symptoms and microscopic examination of the blood for the presence of parasites. Treatment for 3-day malaria includes the use of antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine, artemether and lumefantrine.

Three Day Malaria Prevention includes using mosquito nets, repellents, wearing protective clothing and taking preventive medications before traveling to endemic areas.

Triday malaria is a serious illness that can lead to complications and even death, especially if not treated promptly. Therefore, it is important to take precautions and seek medical attention if symptoms occur.



**Three-day malaria** is an acute disease transmitted through the bite of a female malaria mosquito of the genus Anopheles of two species - Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium ovale, belonging to the class of sporozoites. It is caused by one of two forms of Plasmodium: P. vivax or P. ovale. Malaria, first described in 1879 by Jean Albert Monticelli, was at the time labeled tertian malaria, although in later decades this term was usually used to refer to P. vivax. The term "Tertiano" had previously been coined in the twentieth century for a form of malaria that is transmitted by P. falciparum, but because they are not continuous or complete synonyms, "three day" refers specifically to the three to four -day incubation period of P. malariae.
