In Malaria, fever tends to have a cyclic pattern, occurring in episodes every 24 to 72 hours, depending on the type of malaria parasite involved. It can also cause anemia and an enlarged spleen. In the case of viral fever, the fever often known as febrile viral disease, is a widespread health risk that affects people of all ages.
