Soldiers in WWI contracted typhus from poor sanitation and crowded quarters during the trench warfare. Typhus is caused by bacteria that are spread by human body lice and from lice on rats and mice. The largest epidemics of Typhus were actually in the German concentration camps of World War 2.
Typhus primarily causes systemic illness characterized by high fever, severe headache, and rash, resulting from the infection of the endothelial cells lining blood vessels. This can lead to complications such as vasculitis, which may result in organ damage due to impaired blood flow. In severe cases, typhus can lead to shock, respiratory failure, and even death if left untreated. The specific symptoms and severity can vary depending on the type of typhus, such as epidemic or endemic typhus.
