In medicine, describing a disease as acute denotes that it is of short duration and, as a corollary of that, of recent onset. The quantitation of how much time constitutes "short" and "recent" varies by disease and by context, but the core denotation of "acute" is always qualitatively in contrast with "chronic", which denotes long-lasting disease (for example, in acute leukaemia and chronic leukaemia).Examples of acute diseases include appendicitis, acute leukemia, and strep throat. Some acute diseases do not require hospitalization or medical treatments, such as influenza, whereas others, such as pneumonia and acute myocardial infarction, may require medical attention and extended treatment

Answer:

Diseases which are of shorter duration and do not have too many effects on the body are called acute diseases. They can be treated easily. The person who has an acute disease may be bed ridden but its only for a short time and it does not affect his/her health very much. Eg. :- Mild cough & cold, fever, etc.
