The aggravated ''dosha'' circulate through the channels carrying ''rasa'' (the first nutritional dhatu equivalent to plasma) and spread all over the body and gets stagnated, causes ''santata jwara''. This ''santata jwara'' is extremely difficult to treat and manifests its symptoms very quickly. In this type the patient either gets cured (on the pacification of ''dosha'') or killed (on the further aggravation of ''dosha'') on the 10th, 12th or 7th day.

The ''dosha'' involved in the manifestation of ''santata jwara'' is in accordance with season (''kala''), vitiated factors (''dushya''), and the physical constitution of the patient (''prakriti'') due to which it is ''nispratyanika'' (having no opponent / which cannot be inhibited). Thus, it is known to be unbearable.

Thus, it is known to be unbearable.
Additionally, the other ''dhatu'', urine, stool and ''vata'' etc. ''dosha'', also get affected simultaneously in this fever. If the involved factors like ''rasa'' are purified optimally the fever gets subsided in either 7 or 10 or 12 days, otherwise, the fever kills the patient within that period.

If, some of the 12 constituents of this fever get purified, while some others remain unpurified, then the fever goes in latent stage on the 12th day and reappears on the 13th day and may persist for longer duration. In this way, a physician should understand the causes and features of this type of fever and should initiate the treatment only after a proper understanding of these factors, mostly by the methods beginning with ''apatarpana''.

Some scholars opine that the different types of ''jwara'' viz the ''anyedushaka, tritiyaka'' and ''chaturthaka jwara'' manifest because of the affliction of the some alternate ''dhatu'' by the ''dosha''.

As a seed remains dormant in the soil and germinates at a favorable time, similarly the ''doshas'' remain in dormant condition in the ''dhatu'' and get aggravated at a favorable time. These ''dosha'' gain strength at an appropriate time and when the power of the inhibiting (disease preventing) factors has subsided, then the ''tritiyaka'' and ''chaturthaka jwara'' manifest.

''Chaturthaka viparyaya jwara'' is another variety of ''vishama jwara''. Each of the three ''dosha'' i.e. ''vata, pitta'' and ''kapha'' cause this disease by afflicting the two dhatu viz ''asthi'' (bone) and ''majja'' (bone marrow).[73]
