Ekadoṣa (एकदोष) (or Ekadoṣaja) refers to “fevers caused by single Doṣa specifically”, according to the Jvaranirṇaya: an Ayurvedic manuscript dealing exclusively with types of jvara (fevers) written by Sri Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita in the 16th century CE.—The uniqueness of the text is that one can get a comprehensive classification, symptomatology and diagnosis of jvara, all at one place in this text. [...] Pṛthakjāta here means “caused by single Doṣa (ekadoṣa) specifically”. The cause, prodromal symptoms, symptoms and types that manifests due to the involvement or vitiation of a single doṣa , two doṣa , three doṣa and fever due to extrinsic causes are mentioned in this section. This section also deals with latent fevers and the time taken for relief from different types of fevers.
