Acute
The onset of disease refers to the initial appearance or emergence of symptoms or signs of a health condition. A relatively short duration indicates that the disease or its symptoms are present for a limited time, suggesting that it may be acute rather than chronic. This combination often implies that the disease may resolve quickly, either spontaneously or with treatment, but can also indicate the need for prompt medical attention to prevent complications.
Rapid onset, and (usually) rapid resolution - as opposed to chronic diseases, which usually have a slow onset, and an insidious, protracted course.
