The advent of antibiotics began with the use of sulfonamides in the mid-1930's, hence the troops had the benefits of sulfa and penicillin to treat both disease and wound infections. They also benefited from the availability of blood transfusions, aeromedical evacuation, better burn management, synthetic antimalarials and DDT, and a wide range of preventive measures including immunizations against yellow fever, cholera, plague, influenza, typhus, typhoid and tetanus. The result was an up to then extraordinary 4% died-of-wounds rate for British and American troops, (this rate was later reduced to 2.5% in Vietnam) and death rates from disease markedly below the killed-in-action rate. Mortality did not tell the entire story. Morbidity from such diseases as tuberculosis (anti-tuberculous agents did not begin to appear until 1949), rheumatic fever, hepatitis, and tropical diseases was high, however, and the prime reason for residual disability and time lost from duty.
