There were a couple. Plague was a constant problem, although it had mutated into a different disease from the one it had been when it was the Black Death 300 years before. The epidemic Shakespeare talks most about is syphilis, which was a relatively new disease, introduced to Europe from America about a hundred years before and which caused the deaths of thousands of people, including, it is thought, King Edward VI.
