P. malariae:

on 8.10.08 with 0 comments



The incubation time is 3 weeks to many years. The very late attacks are probably not due to awakened hypnozoites (to date these have never been detected) but due to the activation of blood parasites which are present at a very low concentration. Fever peaks may occur every 72 hours (quartan malaria).
