Typhus used to be known as "jail fever" as it was 
very common in prisons; but it is a fact that 
overcrowding, 
poverty, 
and 
bad 
hygienic 
surroundings anywhere are suitable conditions 
for epidemics of this disease. Improved conditions 
in industrialised countries have made it unusual, 
since typhus is carried from one person to another 
by infected body lice. Typhus comes on suddenly 
with a rise in temperature to about 39°C, but 
within three or four days it may be as high as 
42°C. There may or may not be a rash at this 
time, and in the second week, when the 
temperature is at its highest level there is 
delirium, physical weakness, and a weak pulse.

found ------- .
A) in especially overcrowded and dirty places 
B) among school children or babies 
C) in contemporary industrialised countries 
D) in the neighbourhoods close to prisons 
E) in areas where the population is on the rapid 
increase
