ABSTRACT

This study attempts the reconstruction of the most characteristic clinical picture of the acute phase of malaria, the malarial paroxysm, describing the elements that participate on the part of the parasite and the host, the way they become integrated, and how they function to produce the classical clinical manifestations of what we call malaria.
