=Jwara affecting body tissues (dhatugata jwara)=
When jwara affects body tissues, it produces tissue specific clinical features. These conditions of lodging pathogenic factors of jwara at different tissues ([[dhatu]]) are termed as ‘dhatugatajwara’. This suggests progressive stages of disease affecting deeper tissues.

• Jwaraat the site of nutrient fluid (rasa),blood (rakta), muscle (mamsa) and adipose tissue (meda dhatu) are curable [Jwara affecting bones (asthi) and marrow (majja) are difficult to cure. Jwara affecting semen/reproductive fluid (shukra dhatu) is incurable. [Cha.Sa.Chikitsa Sthana.3/83]
