Akhkhazu, also known as Ahhazu, is a female demon of jaundice from the Akkadic mythology that was later adopted by Babylonian mythology.
Her Sumerian name is Dimme-kur.
She brings fever and plagues and is a member of a trio of female demons (Labasu, Labartu, Akhkhazu).
[1] Despite the fact the word "Akhkhazu" has a male gender, Akhkazu is often described as having a female nature.
