| blackwater f. |
a severe complication of malaria characterized by intravascular hemolysis, hemoglobinuria, renal failure, and passage of dark brown or red urine, seen in association with intermittent quinine therapy, with Plasmodium falciparum infection in the nonimmune, or with interrupted exposure in the partially immune. The hemolysis is believed to be caused primarily by an autoimmune response to the infection. Called also malarial hemoglobinuria.
