Definition: The word "alloxuraemia" appears in the New Testament of the Bible written by Saint Matthew, as translated into Greek by Jerome.
In this context, "alloxuraemia" refers to an illness characterized by excessive bleeding from the mouth and nose. It occurs in a group of people with different diseases or conditions, such as syphilis, leprosy, meningitis, etc., often related to exposure to contaminated substances or animals.
The disease is usually treated with antibiotics, but it can also be life-threatening if left untreated. The specific symptoms are characterized by recurrent and severe bleeding, as well as the development of a sore throat, fever, cough, and rash, which may spread from one person to another if not properly managed.
This term was first used in the New Testament context in Acts 9:66, where Paul mentions that "some of them had been sick of leprosy, some of them had been sick of syphilis" (v.1).
