Yes, dengue which is quite common now can kill a person in a day, if not treated on time, as the affected person can get a high fever, coupled with internal haemorrhaging, destroying the person's circulatory system.

2. Ebola

This deadly disease, Ebola, will lead to the rupture of white blood cells of the victim, stopping the blood from clotting, within hours after being affected. So, the victim usually bleeds internally, causing an organ failure and finally death.

5. Chagas Disease

Chagas disease is a rare disease caused by parasites that multiply in the internal organs like the heart and digestive system of the victim. When not given an immediate treatment, the victim can suffer from a cardiac arrest, leading to death.

6. Cholera

Cholera is another deadly disease in which a person experiences severe loss of body fluids by vomiting or diarrhoea, leading to extreme dehydration and ultimately the organs shutting down, overnight!

7. MRSA Infection

MRSA infection can destroy the blood cells and lung tissues of the affected person, at a rapid rate, thus leading to death within a day, if not given any medical attention.

8. Stroke

Stroke is a cerebrovascular disease that inhibits the flow of blood and oxygen to certain parts of the brain due to the presence of a clot. A very severe form of stroke can cause immediate death!
