An attack of Sannipátaja fever can be cured only with the greatest difficulty, while others hold it to be almost incurable. A case of Sannipátaja fever attended with somnolence is called Abhinyása, it is called Hataujasa when the vitality of the patient is greatly diminished and it is called Saunyása when there is an innertness of the limbs. 16
