A soldier was struck by a debilitating disease in Afghanistan after the defense ministry failed to give soldiers the right tablets, a court said yesterday.
Wayne Bbad, 34, suffers from chronic fatigue and needs a cane after catching Q fever.
He is suing the Ministry of Defense for negligence because he has not received any medicine to prevent the disease.
Wayne said his life was spoiled by the Army's inability to prescribe antibiotics that could have protected it from infection.
Wayne, a former Mercian Regiment soldier, fell ill after returning to Birmingham in May 2012.
He was diagnosed with Q fever, contracted by breathing in animal feces particles.
Most sufferers have symptoms similar to influenza and heal quickly, but rare cases are serious and cause permanent problems.
Wayne claims that he suffered permanent damage from the disease and was fired from the army in 2014.
Since then he has been unable to work and suffers from chronic fatigue, sweating, headaches, chest pains, dizziness and loss of consciousness.

Wayne, wearing his campaign medals, said in front of the central London county court: "I was in a deplorable state, very very badly."
His lawyer, Theo Huckle QC, said that the defense ministry had given troops anti-malaria pills that tourists are advised to take, but should have given them different pills that also protect against Q fever.
The Ministry of Defense denies negligence. The audience continues.
