ACUTE
CONSUMPTION
|
Weary,
sullen, mournful face, |
A
tale of internal disturbance tells, |
Perhaps
of some chronic illness, |
Or
of current affairs! |
Dark
rings around the eyes, |
Malar
prominence and sunken cheeks, |
Malar
flush of high fever, |
Makes
the diagnosis more clear |
Clinicians!
beware! pay attention! |
It
may be Acute consumption! |
(
Note:-- The first episode of Acute consumption i.e. Acute miliary
tuberculosis may masquerade Acute bronchitis. ) |
