Overview
It infected the armies in Flanders, France, Poland, Galicia, Italy, Slonika, Macedonia, Mesopotamia, and Egypt in World War I[1][2] (including J.R.R. Tolkien[3]) and the German army in Russia during World War II.[2] From 1915-1918 between one-fifth and one-third of all British troops reported ill were caused by Trench Fever while about one-fifth of ill German and Austrian troops had the disease.[1] The disease persists among the homeless.[4] Outbreaks have been documented, for example, in Seattle, Washington and Baltimore, Maryland in the United States among injection drug users and in Marseille, France and Burundi.
