Blackwater-Fever
A malaria that presents as a rare febrile complication of repeated malarial attacks characterized by intravascular haemolysis, haemoglobinuria and kidney failure, resulting from destruction of red blood cells caused by heavy parasitization with Plasmodium falciparum or Plasmodium vivax.
The database says that a source associated a plant with the label “Blackwater-Fever”. It does not show that the source used modern diagnostic criteria or that the plant was effective.
The plain-language definition is anchored to an exact Disease Ontology term. The historical use association remains a separate data claim.
Recipes, methods and preparation notes.
The historical dataset does not contain a recipe. A preparation will appear here only when the editorial library contains a separately sourced note connected by plant identity or explicit use language.
