Some of the more common diseases that afflicted soldiers during the American Civil War include diphtheria, measles, mumps, chicken pox, small pox, influenza, pneumonia, dysentery, cholera, typhoid fever, malaria and tuberculosis.

The worst out of the bunch in terms of deaths was by far dysentery. This one disease accounted for around 45,000 deaths in the Union army and around 50,000 deaths in the Confederate army.
