He successfully treated Abbas Mirza of a sexually transmitted infection, but also, after agreeance of the Crown Prince, vaccinated his entire household against smallpox. From this point onwards, Abbas Mirza were to be indefinitely attended by a foreign doctor. Campbell died in Tehran and left an illegitimate son named Alexander who also served in the Bombay Medical Service.[1][2][3]
