In the period of an epidemic outbreak, tertian malaria is registered at a high rate among children, which has a characteristic sign of local transmission via malaria mosquitoes. The case histories of 66 patients with tertian malaria, including 27 children aged 10 months to 15 years, treated at the infection unit of Tashkumyr town hospital in July to August 2006, were the subject of this investigation. In childhood malaria, the specific feature of feverish paroxysm is daily fever with evident symptoms of intoxication and signs of neurotoxicosis.

The origin of quinine from Peru remains a mystery because of the lack of primary data-in particular, those produced by the Jesuits working in Peru. The discovery of cinchona bark and its use in malaria treatment must have come from the Jesuits, who worked with the native Andeans, the Quichuan people, and learned how the bark of the cinchona tree could be used for chills. Unknown is whether the Andean people used it for fever that may have been the result of malaria.
