| <p> '''''fluks''''' ( πυρετὸς καὶ δυσεντερία , <i> '''''puretós kaı́ dusenterı́a''''' </i> , literally "fever and dysentery"): The disease by which the father of [[Publius]] was afflicted in [[Malta]] ( Acts 28:8 ). the Revised Version (British and American) calls it "dysentery"; a common and dangerous disease which in Malta is often fatal to soldiers of the garrison even at the present day (Aitken, < i> Pract. of [[Medicine]] </ i> , II, 841). It is also prevalent in [[ Palestine]] at certain seasons, and in [[Egypt]] its mortality was formerly about 36 percent. Its older name was due to the d ischarge of blood from the intestine. Sometimes portions of the bowel become gangrenous and slough, the condition described as affecting [[Jehoram]] ( 2 Chronicles 21:19 ). There seems to have been an epidemic of the disease at the time of his seizure ( 2 Chronicles 21:14 , 2 Chronicles 21:15 ), and in the case of the king it left behind it a chronic ulcerated condition, ending in gangrene. Somewhat similar conditions of chronic intestinal ulceration following epidemic dysentery I have seen in persons who had suffered from this disease in India. </p> | | <p> Dysentery, one of the worst diseases in the East, always attended with fever . Acts 28:8 . < /p> |
