Alma 15:3, “3 And also Zeezrom lay sick at Sidom, with a burning fever, which was caused by the great tribulations of his mind on account of his wickedness, for he supposed that Alma and Amulek were no more; and he supposed that they had been slain because of his iniquity. And this great sin, and his many other sins, did harrow up his mind until it did become exceedingly sore, having no deliverance; therefore he began to be scorched with a burning heat.”
Imagine the war happening in his mind (that would have brought him "low with a fever" by itself--the mental battle between who he had been and what he now knew--trying to keep his mind clear and his faith in the truth vs. the pack of lies he had been persuading the people to believe and thus needing to believe the lies himself!
