Yes, and that is one of the reasons that men who were shipped out for medical treatment like the ICT took so long to get better. They were in a very poor condition to start with, and had very few (if any) bodily reserves to help them fight off infection......and No antibiotics on the scene either.
It is amazing that any of them survived at all.
