However, there are synonyms for Assam fever, which is the disease's popular name in certain regions, especially in India. These synonyms include breakbone fever, dandy fever, and bonecrusher disease. These names reflect the severity of the pain experienced by the patients, who often describe a feeling of their bones being crushed or broken during the acute phase of the illness. Regardless of the name it goes by, timely diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent severe complications and fatalities.
