Cause of death in 1702 Alsace death record

Tom Randolph

I haven't been able to find the words in the expression for the cause of death in this 1702 Alsace death record, which I read tentatively as: "starb an der ietziger zeit graehirend hitzigen kranckheit". Any suggestions?

The words are "ietziger zeit grassirenden hitzigen kranckheit", meaning "the presently rampant febrile illness".
