description Diarrheal disease and dysentery were widespread, and Mackie (1947) estimated that approximately one in four returning GIs suffered from at least one tropical infection, led by intestinal protozoa (mostly Entamoeba histolytica) or helminths (mostly hookworm infection), as well as relapsing malaria from Plasmodium vivax (and a significant number of P. falciparum infections) [1]. The Korean war also led to 1,600 veterans falling ill with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome due to infection with Hantaan virus [7] in addition to significant numbers of infections with Japanese encephalitis virus [8].
