The acute tissue stage of disease (the schizogenous phase) is characterized by wide spread dissemination of schizonts which form parasitic thrombi throughout the body resulting in a disease course that is typically fatal. Hosts that survive this acute tissue phase develop a chronic yet fairly innocuous erythroparasitemia with merozoite-infected red cells.
