My Dad had black malaria during WW II, while working for National Catholic War Relief Services in Tanzania, near Arusha. My Mom says he was in a coma for a while. She does not remember how long, but he was hospitalized for two weeks or so. Supposedly, the worst malaria you can get. Chills, shivering, and high fever.
