A modern version of this disease cannot be found, though it has been likened to the hantavirus it is not a perfect match. The disease was also known as the English Sweat as interestingly it never crossed the border to Scotland and there were very few cases in Wales. In England it never affected foreigners and in the few reported cases in English occupied France, it only affected the English. There were a few major epidemics during Tudor times and the sweat worked quickly, usually killing within a day. If you survived longer than a day you were more likely to survive it. It consisted of the patient first going into cold chills then getting very hot and excessivley sweating. It has been attributed to the unhygienic living conditions and perhaps a habit that onbly the English had though nobody knows for certain. What is known is that this disease has not been seen in England for hundreds of years and appears to have died out.
