Dan Malaria is a condition where Yin qi is isolated and exhausted, while Yang qi flares up alone, resulting in a faint pulse. Its symptoms must include shortness of breath, irritability and fullness, heat in the hands and feet, and a desire to vomit. There is only heat without chills. The pathogenic factor hides internally within the Heart and externally resides between the muscle layers, causing emaciation and flesh wasting.
Wen Malaria is a condition where the pulse is normal and there is no chills. After six or seven days of illness, only heat is observed. Its symptoms include painful and vexed joints, frequent vomiting, resolution of morning onset by evening, and resolution of evening onset by morning. This is called Wen Malaria.
