ABSTRACT
The death of Prince Albert, married to Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, in 1861 from typhoid profoundly impacted the Monarchy. The queen mourned for the rest of her life, some 40 years, highlighting the individual and familial impact of typhoid in a very public way [1]. The diagnosis was made by the prince’s physician, Sir William Jenner, who managed many typhoid patients and meticulously documented the prince’s symptoms, including the appearance of rose spots.
