I believe that Steve Reeves had malaria, while in the army, in the South Pacific. Some say it's a white man disease but that is incorrect. I was born in Polynesia and been to Fiji to Hawai (and most points in between) and malaria is an equal opportunity killer everywhere.
Heard from a couple of older men who had got it (chills/sweating/shaking) in Panama. Their only option was pills (VA hospital supply) and rest. So I guess you would have to wait it out like them, too bad. But that should not do damage to your training, in the long run. Good Luck.
