Apacī (अपची) refers to “chronic lymphadenitis” and is one of the various diseases mentioned in the 15th-century Yogasārasaṅgraha (Yogasara-saṅgraha) by Vāsudeva: an unpublished Keralite work representing an Ayurvedic compendium of medicinal recipes. The Yogasārasaṃgraha [mentioning apacī] deals with entire recipes in the route of administration, and thus deals with the knowledge of pharmacy (bhaiṣajya-kalpanā) which is a branch of pharmacology (dravyaguṇa).

(-cī) (In Medicine.) A disease consisting in ‘a number of tumors some of which are of the size of an Amalaka-stone and others like spawn, which cause itching, but otherwise little pain, burst, suppurate and disappear when others come again’. E. accord. to Suśruta apa and cī, i. e. ‘a bad gathering’; for he writes ‘(granthibhiḥ) ananyavarṇairupacīyamānaṃ cayaprakarṣādapacīṃ vadanti’; an etym. ‘a and paca’ would not merely be at variance with its femin. form. in ī, but with the nature of the disease itself, since the tumors so called attain maturity; for they burst and suppurate: ‘kaṇḍūyutāstelparujaḥ prabhinnāḥ sravanti naśyanti bhavanti cānye’.
