Meaning of "quartan" in English

"Quartan" is a medical term primarily used to denote a type of fever that recurs every fourth day. This word is from the Latin "quartānus," which relates to the number four. Quartan fever is often associated with malaria, specifically caused by the parasite Plasmodium malariae. In historical and literature contexts, "quartan" was used to describe recurring fevers consistent with malarial infections, but it’s less commonly used in contemporary clinical terminology. Overall, the term reflects the cyclical nature of certain diseases in relation to time intervals.
