                                      In medicine, an acute disease is a disease with a rapid onset and/or a short course.
                                      Acute may be used to distinguish a disease from a chronic form, such as acute leukemia and chronic leukemia, or to highlight the sudden onset of a disease, such as acute myocardial infarct. The word acute may also be used in the context of medicine to refer to the acute phase of injury, referring to the immediate post-injury healing processes.
