What diseases were there in the Middle Ages?

AnswerPlague, smallpox, flu, colds, mumps, cancer, STD's, are some of the disease that was in the middle ages. Except for the plague they pretty much have what we have today. AnswerThe worst diseases they had in the middle ages, that we do not see much of today, are small pox, bubonic plague, cholera, typhus, typhoid fever, and leprosy. These are usually fairly easy to control using modern medicine and sanitation, and small pox, which was very common, has been pretty much eradicated. There are a number of experts who believe that syphilis is a new world disease, and so would not have existed in medieval Europe, but this theory is disputed by other experts.


Disease in the middle ages?

The best known disease of the middle ages, because of the destruction it caused, was the Black Death. Other diseases spread by vermin were problems, typhus being one. Water borne diseases, such as typhoid fever and dysentery, were problems. Small pox was a terrible scourge, and it killed many people. There were no antibiotics, so any disease that we might consider a mild problem could kill a person. People died from infected pimples and blisters. Surprisingly, the people of the middle ages were rather clean, because they believed cleanliness was next to godliness. But they had no clue when it came to the causes of diseases.
