In malaria, the body temperature may rise as high as:
Correct answer: C. 106°F
- A. 102°F
- B. 104°F
- C. 106°F
- D. 107°F
- E. 106°C
Explanation
Malaria can cause high fevers as part of its symptomatology, especially in severe cases. A body temperature of 106°F (41.1°C) is indicative of an extreme fever, which can occur during the peak of a febrile paroxysm in malaria. Options like 102°F and 104°F, while high, do not capture the severity possible in malaria-induced fevers. Temperatures like 107°F and 106°C are either dangerously high or impossible for human survival, making them incorrect choices.
