My father was stationed in the pacific during WWII and had a very bad case of malaria. Through the years (maybe every 10 years) he would come down with the same severe symptoms... The docs always said it probably started as a flu but he still probably carried something that caused the more severe reaction....

Ouch : ( I knew it was a serious sickness that could kill but I guess I just assumed that if you beat it, it would be done with. After reading a few sites to get a little more info I noticed many complaints of reoccurring symptoms though out the patients lifetime.

My dad got the same thing, in the same area. He ended up losing most of his hair as a result (at least that's what the doctors told him).
