Nidan Panchaka is an important tool of diagnosis. Its five subtypes are Nidan, Poorvaroopa, Roopa, Samprapti and Upshaya. It is an important aspect to diagnose a disease and its stages. Nidan Panchaka not only gives the knowledge of diagnosis but also gives knowledge about prognosis, complications and differential diagnosis. Vi- shamajwara is a type of fever that is characterized by its irregularity. It has five subtypes. It is a very crucial dis- ease, and its features are like many diseases like Malaria, typhoid etc. Nidan Panchaka of Vishamajwara is scat- tered and not mentioned clearly in any Samhita.
