Is it true that (mild malaria) fever burns up body fat and therefore reduces body weight?

It does. During fever, body fights with the bacteria or whatever that caused the fever. During that fight, it loses calaroies which is normally seen as 'heat'. In addition to it, you don't consume the same food you take during your normal time. You tend to take 'light' meals which will further reduce the weight.

There is active infection in the lung with cavitation leading to bloody hemoptysis. The toxins produced by any infection causes fever and weight loss if chronic. The immune system is working to ward off the infection, an infection secondary to a primary complex years before.

Yes but it is not the ideal method of attempting just to lose weight. .
There is also a weight loss due to the loss of fluid in the fever as well. replacemenyt of fluids is essential to maintain electrolyte balance. As are glucose for energy.

Pulmonary tuberculosis--any infection causes immunological response . In this body fights the infection. This causes fever. Killed bacteria of Tuberculosis circulate in blood and act as toxins. Appetite is lost and weight reduction occurs because of toxemia.Lung tissue is destroyed and bleeding occurs. This causes blood in cough. Cough occurs because infected lungs secete a lot.

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!

Just reading the problems people have losing weight it reminds me of the years I spent going from one diet to the next without acheiving any real results until someone recommended to me Dianas miracle cure (i found it on google). It completely changed my life because it was so simple and the results were almost instant. Ive still not put the weight back on. I just wanted to share this with you because it is very different and you wont regret it. Just go google it and you will see what I mean. Take care all and never, ever give up.
