A horse with<unk> , 1678. Lld manuscript from the Deutsche Fotothek The term<unk>  was employed in ancient Greece by Hippocrates and his followers. It refers to acute inflammation of mind and body, not in a theoretical but in a descriptive sense. Its presumed seat was never anatomically or conceptually well determined. The diagnosis was used during the Middle Ages: a mental confusion or continuous delirium with fever.<unk>  means an inflammation of the brain, or of the meninges of the brain, attended with acute fever and delirium. Symptoms vary widely in severity, from short-lived, relatively slight effects of headache, drowsiness, and fever to paralysis, coma, and death. The ancient<unk>  concept was used until the 19th century. After that time the concept was replaced by the word delirium. By their epigonic character the detailed descriptions of<unk>  by Gerard van Swieten mark only the end of an uncritical use of the term. The epoch-making work of Morgagni, based on clinical-anatomical observations, provides a definitive insight into the location of the condition and into many pathologic features. Pinel is the last author who mentions<unk>  in a classification of diseases.<unk>  is no longer in scientific use. Nowadays meningitis or encephalitis are diagnosed. Relating to<unk> : suffering from frenzy; delirious; mad; frantic; frenetic.
