Āgantuja (आगन्तुज) refers to “fevers due to extrinsic causes” whereas Āgantujaprakaraṇa refers to the fifth chapter of the Jvaranirṇaya: an Ayurvedic manuscript dealing exclusively with types of jvara (fevers) written by Sri Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita in the 16th century CE.—The uniqueness of the text is that one can get a comprehensive classification, symptomatology and diagnosis of jvara, all at one place in this text. [...] The Āgantuja-prakaraṇa is an exclusive section on extrinsic fevers (āgantu-jvara) which explains about the types, symptoms (lakṣaṇa), prognosis (sadhyāsādhyata) and omen (ariṣṭa-lakṣaṇa) related to it.
