The<unk>  was an infectious disease of unknown cause and it was the only disease that bore any resemblance to the English<unk> ing sickness. The<unk>  is also known as the miliary fever, suette des<unk>  in French, and<unk> scher Schweiß,<unk> sches Schweissfieber, or Frieselfieber in German. It appeared in the northern French province of<unk>  in 1718. The<unk>  was mainly confined to the northwest part of France, particularly in the provinces of Seine-et-Oise, Bas Rhin, and Oise. Although the<unk>  began in Northern France, outbreaks also occurred in Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy. Between 1718 and 1874, 194 epidemics of the<unk>  were recorded. The last extensive outbreak was in 1906, which a French commission attributed to fleas from field mice. A subsequent case was diagnosed in 1918 in a soldier in<unk> . There were two types of the<unk> , a benign form that was similar to nephropathia epidemica and a more severe form that resembled the English<unk> . The disease was similar to the English<unk>  but differed in some symptoms and in its course and mortality rate. Additionally, the more severe type of<unk>  is believed to be more benign than the English<unk> ing sickness. The rate of sickness was anywhere from 25% to 30% of the population and the mortality rate is estimated to have been between 0% and 20%. Similar to the English<unk> , the more severe<unk>  was characterized by intense<unk> ing, but the symptoms were less fatal. Some of the symptoms were high fever, rash, and bleeding from the nose. Other symptoms include intense<unk> ing, headaches, suffocation, precordial pain, anxiety, and "passion of the heart" or palpitations. Additionally a miliary rash followed by desquamation, or peeling of the skin, is a fresh feature that was brought on with this variant of the English<unk> ing sickness would typically appear three to four days after infection. Many victims died within two days.
