This article is written in medical jargon and is largely incomprehensible to the layperson - and is therefore mostly useless. Stop showing off that you know all the correct terms, and show off that you understand what they actually mean by explaining them. 92.236.53.45 ( talk) 14:32, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
why we called this disease as " Black water fever "? as xmpl, we use PKDL as related to skin infection. Cerebral malaria due to relation with brain. so, what's the reason of " Black water fever "? Rakibul Hasan (SOMC) ( talk) 02:47, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
Thank you very much. Oluafolabi ( talk) 05:28, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
Very simple. One of the effects is to release haemoglobin into the urine, which makes it very dark. Hence Black-Water
In "A Message from Charity", one of the episodes of the "new" series of "Twilight Zone", a 20th century male victim of the disease manages to "telepathically" contact a much earlier (17th or thereabouts century) female victim who lived in the same area, and they have a sort of "cross-temporal" romance with much drama. The delirium aspect of the disease is very important to the plot of the story. In my POV, this was a very good episode. Old_Wombat ( talk) 07:10, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
