industrialised combatant countries. As far as infectious diseases are concerned, the five years of 
continual war and occupation had affected civilian populations in Europe surprisingly less than did 
warfare in previous conflicts. The most notable increases in disease levels. were those of new case of 
tuberculosis, which rose steadily throughout Western Europe, and of reported cases of typhoid fever. 
Most seriously affected were displaced persons, encamped refugees and inmates of concentration 
camps. In marginally nourished and starving patients, typhus, dysentery, scarlet fever, and diphtheria 
caused sporadic outbreaks and many deaths.
