This mail came through blank to my inbox so I am sending again.
In RADAR Pyrogen is listed under the psoric miasm.

As I said before Pyrogen lends itself to the acute miasm (septic
fevers etc) and maybe confusion comes when thinking that the syph
miasm is opened up during an acute but we have to remember that
Hahnemann says about acute affections. "in reality, however, they are
generally only a transient explosion of latent psora, which
spontaneously returns to its dormant state if the acute diseases were
not of too violent a character and were soon quelled." § 73.

Drysdale called it the Aconite of typhoid quality (that is why
Baptisia is complementary) and one of the rx to think about when the
indicated remedy fails "analogous to Psor and Sulph" (Allen)

All the chronic miasms have suppurative and destructive stages but you
have to see the whole remedy to get the real understanding of the
miasmatic influence. You only have to look at the mind sx of Pyrogen
to see the Psoric influence.

The cat also has worms - which I think is psoric also mainly if not
exclusively? Out of interest was there any fever accompanying his sx,
I can't remember without reading all the posts again.

No there was no fever.

According to Banerjea: Miasmatic Prescribing - thread worms are psoric.
Pinworms and many other varieties of intestinal worms are tubercular.

Agrawal lists thread worms are psoric and syphilitic.

My boy had round worms.

"Acute miasm" I think is another term, along with "contitutional remedy", that's become ambiguous. Lou Klein and Will Taylor and others use it as synonymous with rabies miasm.
