\Syn"o*chus\, n. [NL., from Gr. ? joined together.]
(Med.)
A continuous fever. [Obs.]
Note: Synocha and synochus were used as epithets of two
      distinct types of fever, but in different senses at
      different periods. The same disease is placed under
      synocha by one author, under synochus by another.
