What is Acute Miasm ?
: Acute miasm is a dynamic disease - producing power which causes acute , specific , infectious epidemic disease having almost fixed manifestation.
Master Kent defies it as follows : " An acute miasm is one that comes upon the economy ,passes through its regular prodromal period , longer kor shorter , has its period of progress and period of decline and in which there is tendency to recovery".
The acute miasms are again two types :
(a) Recurring type : It refers to that type of acute miasm which recurs in the same manner more than once in the life-time of a person.
Example : Asiatic cholera , the plague of the Levant , yellow fever of the sea-coast (see sec 73 ).
(b) Non-recurring type or fixed miasm : It refers to that type of acute miasm which attacks persons once in a life-time. (see sec 73)
Example : Smallpox ,measles , whooping-cough , the ancient smooth bright red scarlet fever of Sydenham , mumps.
