Smallpox is caused by a virus and can result in one of two forms of the disease, called variola major and variola minor. Variola major kills 20 to 40 percent of unvaccinated people who get it and can lead to blindness. Variola minor, a far less lethal form of the disease, results in death only on rare occasions.he earliest evidence of smallpox skin lesions has been found on the faces of mummies from the eighteenth and twentieth Egyptian dynasties, and in the well-preserved mummy of Pharaoh Ramses V, who died in 1157 B.C.E.
