Question: Based on the observed time intervals, could the symptoms experienced by the patient be due to malaria?

Some days later, the patient was seen at another clinic, where on a routine CBC malaria parasites were seen. He was then referred to a hospital, where he presents to the emergency room, at 4 am, with continuing fever, nausea, vomiting, and myalgias. On physical examination, the patient is febrile (102°F), tachycardic. jaundiced and pale. He is well oriented but slow in answering questions. A thin blood smear obtained while in the emergency room is read as Plasmodium, species not determined. Other laboratory findings include: hematocrit 33% , creatinine 3.6 mg/dL, and total bilirubin 11.0 mg/dL. The urine is dark, with a measured output of 40 mL/6 hours.
