I know a man who caught malaria while traveling in the Far East. His symptoms he told are typical. Heavy perspiring, ie the sweats. So much a mattress would be drenched in sweat. High fever over 103 , fatigue and malaise. These symptoms are periodic. That is they go away and come back every few months. IOW for example three months symptom free, 3 months symptomatic. Okay its not that regular. The term for symptoms coming and going on a regular bass is intermittent.

Malaria symptoms, which often appear about 9 to 14 days after the infectious mosquito bite, include fever, headache, vomiting and other flu-like symptoms. If drugs are not available or the parasites are resistant to them, the infection can lead to coma, life-threatening anemia, and death.

Malaria kills 781,000 people each year. Ninety-one percent of malaria-related deaths occur in Africa, the majority of whom are children under 5 years of age.
