It was most likely "Norwegian scabies" which refers instead to a particularly severe form of scabies that is also known as crusted scabies. Crusted scabies has been called Norwegian scabies because the condition was first described in Norway in the mid-19th century.

This led to a condition known as trench fever, which caused high fever, severe joint pain, and skin rash, resulting in significant discomfort and debilitation among the troops.
