Diseases are primarily caused by Saturn (Sani) due to its direct or indirect involvement in Transit and Dasa. However, the total number of days a disease or health issue will take to cure (atleast to some extent), depends on the constellation (nakshatra) in which Moon was transiting, when disease started.
In general, when a disease or fever starts with Moon in one of these nakshtras : Rohini, Arudra, Aslesha, Magha, Poorva Phalguni, Swati, Visakha, Moola, Poorvashada, Satabhisha, Poorva Bhadrapada and if they occur either on weekdays of Sunday, Friday or Saturday and also if tithi (Lunar day) coincides with Pratipada (Padyami) (1), Chaturthi (4), Ashtami (8), Navami (9) or Dwadasi (12), native will suffer more than usual.
If a disease starts on lunar tithis of Pratipada (1), Chaturthi (4), Shashti (6), Navami (9), Ekadasi (11) or Chaturdasi (14) and if these tithis coincide with weekdays of Saturday or Sunday, then it takes lot of effort to cure.
Usually, if Moon is in Visakha nakshatra on a tuesday, and if a person gets sick or injured heavily in an accident on that day, it is very difficult to recover.
It can take many days to cure completely. In some cases, coma or death can also happen.
