There were a number of infectious diseases that many people experienced during this time period. This is because of the lack of medical intelligence and medicines available. People who lived in the city experienced fatal diseases like the PLAGUE, for example. Back then, the people didn't have nearly the great medical professionals that we have today. The number of strong medicines back then were very scarce. There were little to no survivors out of the people who caught the dangerous diseases.

Many infectious diseases that killed by the millions were greatly reduced in the 20th century, with one notable achievement being the eradication of smallpox, and considerable progress being made toward the eradication of polio and Guinea Worm Disease.
Other diseases, such as diphtheria, typhoid fever, tuberculosis and whooping cough were greatly reduced throughout the world due to childhood immunization programs, improved sanitation, and the use of antibiotics. Malaria, even though easily treatable, is still a major killer in poor countries.
