Jwara, regarded in Ayurveda as the most significant disease due to its impact on both body and mind, is extensively described in classical texts and categorized into eight types based on causative factors. While fever is a common clinical sign in modern medicine, accounting for nearly 30% of childhood healthcare visits and up to 75% of presentations among seriously ill adults, its etiological diversity continues to pose diagnostic challenges. In India, infectious diseases represent over one-third of the nation’s disease burden, with 37–74% of fevers attributed to infections and 3–52% to non-infectious causes. Despite increasing patient preference for Ayurvedic management of fever, accurately identifying the specific type of Jwara, particularly in infectious conditions, remains a key challenge for practitioners. This issue is especially relevant in tropical regions such as northeastern India, where infectious diseases including malaria, dengue, Japanese encephalitis, typhoid, URTI, LRTI, and UTI are highly prevalent due to environmental and socioeconomic factors such as heavy rainfall, flooding, poor sanitation, and high vector density. Given these circumstances, a systematic study correlating the eight types of Jwara with common infectious diseases is essential for improving diagnostic precision and clinical outcomes in Ayurvedic practice. This article presents a comprehensive review that compares and critically analyzes the relation of common infectious diseases and Jwara Vyadhi.
