Je crains que

Hi, I have just taken the French proficiency exam and this was a question I answered incorrectly,  but I am confused as the answer seems to be opposite of the original sentence:

Je crains qu’il tombe malade. » Quelle phrase a le même sens et grammaticalement correct ?

Correct answer: Je crains qu’il ne tombe malade
Your answer: Je crains qu’il est malade.  I don't understand the error and I don't understand the use of 'ne' but not 'pas.'  Can anyone help?
