| The first clinical sign of malaria is fever followed by febrile paroxysms. 2 to 3 days before the first paroxysm patients often complain of malaise, headache, dizziness, fatigue, pain, anorexia and nausea. The paroxysms are divided into three stages: the cold stage (shivering), the hot stage (fever) and the sweating stage with subsequent declining fever. The paroxysms periods repeat every 48 or 72 hours in dependence of the Plasmodium species. Due to these patterns malaria was given its other names: Benign tertian malaria (P. vivax), malignant tertian (P. falciparum), tertian (P. vivax, P. ovale) and quartana malaria (P. malaria). It only occurs with a synchronized parasite population in the patient. In P. falciparum malaria the periodicity is often not clearly defined resulting in continuous or remittent fever in patients. | The first clinical sign is fever followed by febrile paroxysms. 2 to 3 days before the first paroxysm patients often complain of malaise, headache, dizziness, fatigue, pain, anorexia and nausea.
